I wondered about that. I saw the high hoods on Athearn's site, which is how I found out about the stripe and what looks like gold lettering. If you want to take a cell phone picture(s) and email it(them) (pat@patpatterson.com), I'll turn them into BMPs and send them back. I don't have permission to use any of Athearn's pictures.

Ed,
Great news. I have written permission to use the product photos from Athearn's website so, Southern High Hoods are all yours.

Not cab left but forward direction left. From the RailPro Assistant manual.
"It is preferred that you place the locomotive such that if it were to move forward that it would be traveling to the left on your picture. Forward direction to the left is consistent with pictures that we already have."
This means technically that if you had a hood unit where the long hood end was forward the long hood should really be to the left. I don't know if many, if any US hood units were set up as long hood was forward and I don't think it matters to most, possibly because of a combination of they don't know which end is actually forwards on the prototype and whatever they buy is most certainly going to be wired as short hood end as forward anyway, regardless of which end is forward on the prototype.
Remembering it's forward direction facing left, not cab left will help when you have to install into things like B units and twin cabbed units.
