It's the same orientation relative to the cable. In both the downtube and the bar-end shifters, the shifter's lever will be pointing in the same direction as the fat tab when in the "high gear" position. You can't really get the lever boss cover oriented wrong on downtube levers- on the bar-ends, 3 of the 4 possible positions are wrong!

BTW: "fat tab"? I have a fat tabby: http://home.comcast.net/~jeff_wills/...house08130.htm
