67 Hofner 500/1 has inverted neck pickup...why?

I just acquired a 67 Hofner 500/1. Everything seems to be in order but I noticed that the neck pick up has been inverted so the logo is upsidedown at the top and the poles are below. Any reason why someone would do this? Should I flip it back or just leave it as it came? Thoughts?
