Stereotape/Audio Arts question

Tape Trail

Reel to reel, cassette and other analogue tape formats.

I just obtained my second Stereotape/Audio Arts 2-track prerecorded tape. This was recorded in 1956 in Los Angeles. Written on the box: "Stereotape should be reproduced through balanced amplifiers with first or upper channel through listener's right speaker; the other channel through the left speaker." Could this be correct? It's the reverse of the industry standard where upper channel is left, lower channel is right. Any thoughts?
