Hi Owain,
I agree, but there are lots old editions out there with the order
reversed (new value = old value). I don't know why *anyone* ever
thought that was a good way of indicating tempo shifts, but
unfortunately, it's not uncommon.
Putting the "=" directly above the barline is good practice in any
event, but the arrows help, too.

equals the new quarter.
Provided it's positioned with the '=' directly over the barline, I
don't see how there could be any ambiguity in this. I've never
encountered anyone getting confused by such a notation.
