Looks like it would point up at about a 30* angle if you mounted it on back?
Rivendell sells a rack (Mark's Rack) that is about the size of the Nitto M12 but will fit front or rear. It's a bit overpriced, like almost everything at Rivendell, but will serve that purpose.

Velo-Orange has several options for front and rear racks in different sizes.

I have seen good reports on the Axiom Streamliner rack. Also check out the Velo-Orange stainless steel rack for comparison.
BTW, if you don't mind ordering from overseas, some of the British online cycling shops like Wiggle, Chain Reaction, SJS and others have a lot more options for racks at very good prices.
