and that's probably why there is no "standard," all the well known large arrays use proprietary systems.
In contrast, so called loudspeaker orchestras - originally intended for diffusing stereo works - tend to apply the rationale of having multiple stereo pairs - mapped directly to individual faders - and I would guess it's for this reason that the numbering is as such in the second numbered sequence you posted; because an acousmatic composer who composes an octophonc work for that set-up can more easily present it, or even diffuse it, in a setting that uses multiple speaker pairs.
