Default "Upside Down" Receptacle Installation

I've got a really old combination electrical receptacle that's failing
and needs to be replaced. It's configured with the outlet above the
switch. However, all the current models I've found have the switch on
top. Unfortunately,for my application, I need the outlet on top.

The question is-- can I mount it upside down without violating any
electrical codes?

Thanks for all the input-- I think I'll just go ahead and install in
upside down!
