Look closer at that photo/post. All the clues are there the clip is in the correct orientation. Bike is stated being a CB550, left side drive, like the CB1100. Photo clearly shows the link on incoming (lower side of travel) direction of the rear sprocket. Closed end of the clip correct.
As it is, chain technology, like a host of other technology pertaining our bikes, is just better. I'm just as guilty of romanticising the past, as many others. Heck, that's why we are all here. Riding an old looking bike, but one that's new...and better overall, than the bikes it is meant to emulate.
Oh man, my winter blues have definitely set in...
