Interesting point, mine are as Mike says, horizontal, levers over the text (as mike says so the letters A,R,O and S make sense) Ignition left Gas right.
A quick look at the the handbooks show that Vertical or Horizontal may have depended on year (if the handbook is believed to be representative of how the cars came out) all that I looked at pre tall rad (starting handbook 715B) are shown Vertical Gas to the top. Thereafter they are horizontal as Mike describes. Not sure I'll be changing mine though I think having them vertical would feel odd.
