Carrier Track Orientation

[ww2steel]

Not that this is at all absolute, but Tamiya kit 35249 (Brit UC MkII) gives a specific note on track direction, showing on the ground that the cleat is at the front and tail (tapered end) to the rear.

Were there maybe different directions on different models/ years?

Would it matter technically- or just so we don't look dumb at a reenacment with our tracks on backwards?
