Seat tube slot question

Maybe a stupid question. I have an Orange P7 that has an odd 32mm seatpost clamp with the slot on the seat tube facing forward. However, all the seatpost clamps I have been able to find, including 32mm Orange branded ones have the logo orientated so that the slot on the clamp (where the clamp is tightened) is on the rear of the bike. Does this matter? Does the slot on the seat tube and the clamp have to line up or do I just need an extremely specific clamp? I can place the clamp backwards, but that looks a bit weird and it means the Orange logo is on the non-drive side and the QR lever is backwards.
 
Doesn't matter which way round you fit the clamp on the seat tube. I like to align mine with the slot where possible for some OCD reason I've never figured, but the stars don't always align and it is fine not to.
