The up/down thing is a myth. Dorset naga & bhut jolokia are the two hottest peppers in the world, 100x hotter than habenero, and all three of them grow down. Peruvian purples, grow upward and are almost totally devoid of any heat, they just look neat. That being said, there are a number of very popular varieties of hot peppers that do grow vertically, so I can see how that fallacy could get started.

I tend to agree with you that they do appear to be birds eyes, just trying to figure out which ones though, hence why the extra questions for Mario in my previous post.
