Chris,
I understand your explanation concerning shortening the shock arm length, but
that is not the effect when the bush is installed with the hole "closer to the
engine". The hole is never closer to or farther away from the engine. The
hole, regardless of where it is orientated, is always the same distance from
the engine because it is located by the fulcrum pin which is in a fixed
location determined by the shock arms. When the bushing is orientated as shown
in Moss Motors left illustration, it is the fulcrum & therefore the top of the
king pin which is located farther away (not closer) to the engine resulting in
more positive camber, not less camber.

The diagram is correct.
Think of the bushing as either shortening or lenthening the shock arm.
A shorter shock arm reduces camber. A longer shock arm increases it.
e.g. if you had 1 degree positive camber, and shortened the shock arm, you
would end up with less than one degree positive camber.
i.e. if the hole is closer to the engine you are shortening the distance (in
compriion to a standard bush) and reducing positive camber.
