On Carrera's chess, I always need to check the original Italian book (available on the web). Carrera was clear that the Champion (RN) is on King's side and the Centaur (BN) on Queen's side.
He said that K and Q stand on the same square than they are on regular chess.
Does that means that white K is on the right and Q on the left?
Or does that means that white K is on a black square and white Q on a white square? The only diagram he included is void, but it has a white square at the lower right.
So I don't know if we have QK or KQ on white side, but I'm sure we have a wing with K-M and a wing with Q-A. So, HG's order seems a valid one.
It is worth mentioning that Murray was wrong on this game, as often when he was describing chess variants. He wrote (p.827) that the Champion is BN and Centaur is RN, which the other way around. Murray is not reliable when speaking about chess variants (see also what he said on shogi, on chu shogi, on Grant Acedrex, ...).
