I did take a trip out to a salvage yard here in the Phoenix area and found only two flatheads with the oil filter still attached. Both were cars (230), one a '46 Plymouth and one a 49 Dodge. Both were plumbed top to top and bottom to bottom and both were the smaller capacity oil filter. Just in case I'm not being clear, that means the top fitting on the filter was piped to the top fitting on the block (into the oil galley). I'm not sure any observation that I make will resolve this question.
