Serotta is an example of there being points at 3 and 9 o'clock on the DT and scoops at 6 and 12 o'clock. Notice it's also a nice place to put a visible 'S' so Serotta's design could also be marketing related. I agree with Andrew that having the points at 6 and 12 o'clock is probably more style than structure. Maybe this is how they achieve vertical compliance while maintaining lateral stiffness.
