I prefer the top row in the OP too.
However, if you are a stickler and you want to orient your cards per set by their orientation on the production sheets; then:
1957 top row
1958 top
1959 top
1960 all cards horizontal
1961 bottom
1962 bottom
1963 top
1964 top
1965 top
1966 top
1967 top
1968 top
1969 top
1970 top
1971 top
1972 top
Are you a stickler? I am not.
