Look at the piecing in the bottom two X's in Brachman's book. Do they match the ones directly above them or the ones diagonally above them? If directly above, it's Red Cross, if not (like the photo above), it's not.
On my version of Block Base it shows the blocks that are diagonal from each other with the seams going the same direction. I haven't looked in the book yet but I consider the color placement and overall design more important to naming a block than which direction the seams run. They only show one block in the book and it isn't even a picture of a "real" block--only a solidly colored mock up.
