Bill,
Mine is R down and left, 1st upper left, 2nd down center, 3rd up center, 4th down right, 5th upper right. In order to get 4 & 5 cleanly I had to open the shift box opening a little with a die grinder. The total left to right throw needed to obtain the shift mechanism movement was more than the shift box top opening permitted. After opening it up a little all was right with the world.... No further adjustments were needed. Granted, I did this after confirming all adjustments were in optimal settings.
Regarding pattern orientation as compared to Pantera, this would depend on the whether your particular cable system mounts to the top or bottom of the shift shaft. i.e. does the pulling action rotate the shaft toward a given gear or away.
