These diags and better appear in many books, many with advice on which way to move the gears to correct.
But why does it matter which gear is turned to obtain contact? A slight loading is applied either way.
If anyone has a diff on the bench perhaps they could experiment.
I suspect many Austin mesh patterns are dubious. Tend to be altered whenever an axle is replaced.The few failed ones I have seen only did so when the teeth wore entirely through! I dunno what they sounded like? The diff oil, if any, must have been about 30% metal.
The observation that diags apply to new gears is important. Can waste hours with worn gears. Have to settle for the best, usually as previous .If there is a wear step the teeth can ride entirely on it so should be carefully removed. (The later pinions were shortened presumably to avoid this. A lesser step forms on the cw.)
