Re: Petition to ship sets designers
From MM website:

Notes: Some of the Mini pictures are labeled as "Top Down" or "Same as Portrait". The "Top Down" pictures are for vehicles which can actually have a facing as they move. These will be rotated by the game to the correct facing. They should always be drawn facing straight up. The "Same as Portrait" pictures are for vehicles which do not have a specific facing.

My guess is that "Top Down" and "Same as Portrait" are categorical, rather than instructional, labels. Their purpose would seem to be to distinguish between those minis which are rotated during movement and those which are not. Having said that, I have no opinion on the matter--at least not a universal opinion; I think which looks better depends on the individual shipset.
