The EQ6 base on the tripod will not allow significant rotation of the mount itself. One leg of the tripod will neccessarily be pointing North (for us down under). This (fixed) orientation thereby allows the counterweights to swing past the tripod closer-in without risk of fouling the legs.
The horizontal centre of gravity is immediately under the middle of the tripod. There would be no need/advantage to have the counterweights swing over a particular leg, as the weight on each is even.
