Yeah, I think you may be right. The gold box needed to located within the image so as to be as unobtrusive as possible, which could be any of the four corners. But, on the printing sheet, I guess the boxes had to be oriented in roughly the same position within the row for embossing (not being familiar with this card set, not sure about that) by a separate process? Just my guess.
I recall seeing an uncut sheet of 1953 Topps cards in which each row was reversed, i.e., upside down in relation to the last row, which met the need to orient the colors with the name boxes in each row.
