[MRCA] 24 Power Pole Standards?

Hi all,

Looking to start using power poles to connect batteries and radios that are 24V milradios. Also plan to use the same for 24V DC-DC converter for use with milradios in vehicles.

Wondering if there is a mrca/milradio standard config similar to how there is an ares/races standard config (lefty loosey or whatever it is!).

Originally I thought using orange/black would be a good way to go to avoild accidental connections to devices with different power requirements.  But then I realize many of us already have tons of red/black connectors in our stocks. So I thought maybe a top/bottom arrangement of red/black instead of the left/right orientation of the standard 12V use of these powerpoles.  This would prevent incorrect interconnection with the wrong device/power source and still allow us to use our stocks of power poles (instead of having to have stock of both red and orange)

Anyone have an opinion?  Has there existed already some standard to follow?
thanks
