Hello Marco,
No worries - we're pretty much all students here...

 Yes, but my suggestion is that this specific hilt position is only applicable to cengkrong/cundrik. Not to the mahesa=kebo family of dhapur (including dhuwung).
For example, all blades in Haryoguritno's book "Keris Jawa ..." are shown in standard orientation except for cengkrong/cundrik.
Regards,
Kai
