Carl:- Sorry about the non-explanation!. I use OMS Wings & Backplate,doubles
and 
Isolation manifold. 

right hand post(looking from the rear):- Reg with long hose + Inflator for
wings 
(Secondary) All down that side.

left hand post (looking from rear):- Reg with std hose,Wings inflator(Primary), 
suit inflation  + Pressure gauge.(Suit inflator and wings inflator run inside a 
neoprene sleeve that covers convoluted hose - all come under left arm). Regs
are 
Poseidon hence it really does not matter that the are over different shoulders
and a stage is carried - one on each side.

If the hoses are run OK the reg's are close to each ear - it is pretty easy to 
detect which one has gone ape.
