It's an interesting comparison, Marco, but in my opinion there is a fundamental difference. The diagram you show has a dominant/default orientation. This is not only caused by the text written in the margins, but also by the diagram itself. Look at the text in the middle and the red labels just outside.
In contrast, the text of the rosettes foldout does not appear to have a default orientation at all. The same is true for this diagram on the reverse of the foldout:
In fact, the only way you could tell which way is up is by the sun's face.
