top swing is the pivot point of the mech, top pull is the cable routing around the mech, but most are both these days.
Top swing and bottom swing depend on your frame clearance and seat tube bottle boss positioning.

I'm pretty sure the last two XT front mechs i bought, could be operated by a top or bottom pull.
