Default Another Multi-wire Circuit Question

This is not my photo, I borrowed it from a colleague.
Is it true that, for this panel, the ungrounded conductors of a multi-wire circuit should not be connected to adjacent breakers 1-2 because they are on the same bus?
I thought multi-wire ungrounded conductors of the same circuit should always be connected to adjacent breakers, with a tie-bar between the breakers

Woops, the file size of the photo was too big. It's an FPE Stablok.

Hard to see in the photo because the breakers are all black. Keep in mind that a pair of half sized breakers will contact the same bus, and adjacent full sized breakers will contact opposite busses. The two hot wires of a multi-wire circuits must originate from opposite busses.
