I don't have a VISOR on hand to check and I frankly don't remember its
details, but Laney says, on page 10 of the Leica Accessory Guide:

        A small prism in the eye-piece produced an upright image but 
        the image was still reversed left to right ...  When the camera 
        was turned for taking upright pictures to eye-piece prism had 
        to be turned through 90 degrees by the knurled ring to keep 
        the image upright.

So maybe the original poster has only to twist the knurled ring to restore
an upright image.
