Can the D-G saddles in the compensated sets, be flipped over or screwed from the opposite side to give better intonation with wound G strings?

Stew Mac barrels are cylindrical and can be flipped. You can also use a straight barrel Allparts saddle in the center. I've found that not all D + G strings benefit from being slanted backwards when the G string is wound, but I'm in the minority, I gather.
