For macro, one of my setups uses two Olympus OM telescopic tubes. For this exercise I measured (hand-held so approximate) the FOV width with the tubes both fully extended and with both fully retracted. I did this for the lens mounted normally and with it reversed. The body was a full frame Sony Alpha A7R.

Lens mounted normally: maximum extension FOV 24m, minimum extension FOV 38mm

Lens mounted reversed: maximum extension FOV 25mm, minimum extension FOV 45mm.

The normal values were with 7mm of additional extension which I was unable to detach for the reversed check.

The lens seems +/- symmetrical and there is no significant advantage in reversing it.

I could see no difference between the lens orientation, in the slight vignetting in the corners, being more for the higher magnification (longer extension) in each case.
