Off topic but that labelling crap annoys me too. And why do it? On a car gear change knob. Now. Third gear. I'll just take a look at the picture engraved on the knob. That's up one notch. Right one notch. Up one notch. Here we go. Phew. Did it. Now. Where's fourth gear?

Maybe it's for the factory workers to put the parts up the right orientation...?

Probably because dog leg shifts are still a thing, just. Maybe when there is a uniform standard of gear layouts they'll consider dropping the diagram. Can't be far away from that happening...

EDIT: Thinking about it, you'd still need an indication of where reverse is.
