They are two different set of lenses!!! One is the Cosina brand OM mount. I
guess they turn in the Zuiko direction and probably get rebadge as
Vivitar/Phoenix lenses (or may be they are Phoenix lenses? whatever)
What Skip and others are referring to is the Cosina made Voigtlander
labelled "SL" lens. They are very nicely made and are based on their
rangefinder lens in Leica Screw Mount lens (except for the 40mm "pancake").
Those ones are top in optical quality but the helical direction is that of
the Nikkor lens.

Are you guys dead sure about the focus direction of Cosina-made OM mount
lenses sold separatly from the OM-2000 body? There's a
German language guy (foto-walser) with e*ay auctions and all his Cosina-OM
lens shots show OUR focus direction, not the Nikon focus
direction. Of course some of his Cosina-OM auctions also have pictures of
Nikon-index prong lenses so this isn't the best
barometer. Still, even those prong-equipt photos show Cosinas focussing
like Zuikos, not Nikkors.
