Andy Hug trained at World Ring Gym and also threw his straight left (southpaw) with a vertical fist.
This video shows him training in the Ginowan gym and then at the Naha gym. Notice the verticqal fist punches.

He's certainly throwing some vertical fist punches, mostly the high looping hook. The jabs and lead shots appear to all be with horizontal fist. He throws a straight body shot that uses the vertical for sure. And I've seen pics of him throwing a high body shot and a left cross with 90 degree canted fist.
These two shows a lot of slows that demonstrate a number of straight crosses all thrown palm down.

I've not personally seen a MT camp that trained fighters to throw vertical fist jabs and straight crosses to the head but if you tell me yours does I'll take your word for it.
