Sonett 2 stroke Solex air jet identification confirmation

I'm nearly there with 1967 Sonett 000083. I an presently working on a fueling issue. This car has sat for 25+ years with some "just-get-it-home, we'll-fix-it- right-later" remedies still in place and being corrected as they are uncovered. This jet issue might be another reason the car sat so long.
Sonett supplement, Engine, page 231-3, shows the three carbs as viewed from the air flow direction and with installed items identified by number and position. The item 11 "idling air jet" is identified as being nearer to the #1 carb (flywheel end), and the item 10 "By-pass air jet" is shown installed nearer to the #3 carb (front damper end).
Is there a typographic error in the on-line supplement manual I'm using as a reference, in which the text for items identified as 10 and 11 in this are transposed?
I'm inclined to believe so. I'd accept that the idle air jet is located directly above the "idling fuel jet" where a drill passage is easy.
But given how gun-shy I am with other 'repairs' I've found, I need to ask.
p.s.: I searched back 15 years of posts and found no prior thread on this.
