Default Which is Upline ?

Guys. I find two conflicting scenarios here. See pictures at the bottom. The question is which is the up line ?

Is the line closer to the LE an upline or is that the down line ? Does it matter as long as the down line is perpendicular to the fuse ? Perils of a newbie ! I know, when I fly, that pulling my wrist back or raising my arm , the elevator must go up and pulling my wrist down or lowering my arm the elevator must go down.

So if the bellcrank is at the bottom of the wing and the elevator horn is at the bottom of the eleavtor, the line closer to the LE is down line. If you put the elevator control horn on top of the elevator it becomes a up line.

For a trainer which is better. Or is that just immaterail as long as elevatot corresponds correctly to the wrist action ?

Thanks again for your advise.
