Haas Generic Turning Post - Incorrect tool post orientation?

Is the post outputting the wrong description for Turrets 101 & 102?

 

Quick snip...

I have a flat bed TL-1 which has a front mounted QCTP (near the operator).

I must set my tools up as Turret #102 in order for the X axis to go in the proper direction.

When I do this, everything works fine, but all the tool change descriptions tell me to use the REAR tool post.

 

  • QCTP -X = 101
  • QCTP +X = 102  (Isn't this nearest the operator?)

My orientation in Fusion 360 shows the X in the proper direction, looking at the Top, Z goes to Right and X pointed down.  Am I doing something wrong or is the post messed up?
