Chas,

It's always been my impression that court mounted medals should be worn on the left lapel:
These are worn on a miniature bar brooch pinned onto the left lapel of a jacket. The length of the miniature bar brooch will vary according to the number of miniatures mounted, but it should never project beyond the edge of the lapel or shoulder seam of the mess jacket. Where necessary, medals are overlapped. Miniatures should be Court mounted.

Notice on this web site that the full-size gongs that are court mounted are worn on the breast, whilst the minis are worn on the left lapel of a mess dress jacket.
regards,
Todd
