XT FD-M738 ~ Conventional or bottom swing - Bottom or down pull.

XT FD-M738 ~ Conventional or bottom swing - Top pull.

XT FD-M739 ~ Top swing - Bottom or down pull. (Cable bolt above and in front of main pivot)

XT FD-M739 ~ Top swing - Top pull. (Cable bolt behind and below main pivot)

Note the position of the cable bolt in relation to the main pivot when working out cable pull direction.
Most modern mechs will have a dual pull pivot with cable guides allowing cable pull from either direction.
