Presumably on e of these as opposed to the more common simple Amici 45
degree prism.

What's reality? Everything is upside down inside your eyeball anyway, and your brain just makes the best of it. Scientists have outfitted people with special prism glasses that turns the world upside down, and after a few days wearing these glasses the people begin to adjust to the new reality and see the world as before, right side up.

It hardly needs mentioning that an A-B-C test of "straight through," prism or mirror diagonal will be enlightening.
If you can't tell the difference then what does it matter?
Except that you've saved some money for magical hi-fi cables. ;-)
