I may be mis-understanding your question, so forgive me if I'm making 
a point you already understand.  You will NOT want to mount the 
cameras so that one lens is above the other one vertically, 
regardless of the orientation of the individual rectangular film 
frames.  Such an orientation WOULD have to be viewed sideways--that 
is, if viewed in a way that conveys a stereo image, that image would 
be imitating the view one gets when one tilts ones head 90 degrees 
sideways.  You could get the same effect by shooting a picture with a 
Realist camera turned on end.  

As George implied, one can at any time put a stereo view, taken 
with horizontal displacement of the lenses, into an over-and-under 
orientation for viewing, as long as the viewer used feeds one 
of the images to the left eye and the other to the right.
