They aren't exactly upside-down, more like diagonal. And inconsistent. I'm not sure what the meaning of the diagram would be if we were forced to treat the baselines of its labels as indicative. 

   

We also don't know if the images and the text were done in the same pass, by the same person. If the rest of the MS is an indication, the text was only applied after the images were drawn, and there is evidence for several people writing the text. Moreover, the text on the relatively large rosettes foldout seems to have been drawn as the sheet was sometimes rotated, so baselines in a certain direction or a certain "pass" cluster together. For certain, studying this may teach us something, but I don't know what.

The fact that the "T" is blue and the rest blank seems pretty standard for the regular T-O diagram.
