spotlight handle orientation

[sigmfsk]

In the movie, the blumo spotlight handle seems to always be in this orientation:



The bracket that mounts the spotlight to the a-pillar morphs, but the handle is always forward when the spotlight is down. This seems to be mounted incorrectly.

shows the "correct" way to mount the handle. By correct, I mean per the Unity 216 exterior bracket instructions. I believe this is also per the factory interior bracket instructions (based on the orientation of the remnants of Marin County's spotlight installation).

This forum is for how factory Monacos were setup, so any blumo weirdness doesn't really apply here, but look at this pic:

It shows the handle in the blumo orientation. Here's a better pic:


Could this have been used this way in police action? Did it get installed incorrectly sometime after police action? thoughts?

your friend in wondering if blumo handle strangeness isn't so strange,
