I concur with your argument, Gary! It also makes sense on the grounds that the 
label is placed on the meteorite in such a way that you can read the number 
more comfortably this way than turning the meteorite and reading the number the 
other way around... 

But your argument with loopsizes for the "8" is still stronger! :-)
