In a '63 Avanti disc brake system, the brake fluid entry point for the OUTER caliper piston cylinder faces upward......True?

I am trying to visualize this.  The crossover goes into a lower position on the cylinder, so I will say that the entry faces upward - True.

Sorry no, the fluid entry point is located at the bottom of the cylinder and, as in most disc brake systems, the bleeder screw is at the top.....Answer..FALSE!

Again, I believe that we are hung up on semantics.

I agree with your quoted statement.  This would make the entry point face upward (into the lower point of the cylinder).

Nice try Gary, but I believe that you're 'swinging after the bell' again!
