Yep, once you position the lever assembly in the "empty" frame in it's "installed" position, it's easy to see the orientation of the pin's notch and rod assembly's plunger in an assembled pistol.

However, consider that while the lever's pin is being inserted into and through the frame during reassembly, it's not necessarily in the same orientation as the pin is sliding across the rod's plunger ... at least until the lever is positioned to complete the installation (inner tab of the lever fitting inside frame window, and slipping the lever's plunger against and onto the front of the sideplate).
