And here is my first attempt at making diagrams for both N₂ and O₂ (using spectra from the articles linked in the quoted thread).
The double red lines indicate a break in the energy scale between the two lowest energy valence MOs. Unoccupied orbitals (dashed) were just randomly added.
There are diagrams similar to this for N2, O2, and CO in the Miessler and Tarr inorganic book (which is obviously not an intro text but might be useful...)
A figure of qualitative MO diagrams of N₂ without and with mixing along with a photoelectron spectrum for the same molecule. In the MO diagram with mixing, the orbital energies are correlated to the position of the peaks on the photoelectron spectrum corresponding to to the removal of an electron from that energy level.
The linked J. Chem. Ed. article above has this diagram connecting MO diagrams of N₂ with the photoelectron spectrum which I feel should be the complete image that all students learning MO theory should see.
I have never seen this idea in a intro chem textbook covering MOs.

Saddened to hear of the passing of luminary scientist, Gabor Somorjai. With Gabor, @berkeleylab.lbl.gov has led the way in understanding materials through their surfaces, be that structure, dynamics, sorption, and transformations relevant to energy applications. He will be missed.
RIP
