Hey mon Deb,
The oil DOES go through one of the pedestals into the rocker arm shaft, and then out a hole at the bottom of each shaft into the bottom of each rocker arm bushing.

And though it is not shown on the very nice diagrams that you posted, the oil then returns to the oil pan through holes in the lower right and lower left hand corners of each of the heads.

The oil in the non-FE engine DOES travel up through the INSIDE of the push rod to the rocker arm, but I don't know of any instance where the oil travels UP the OUTSIDE of the push rods, optical illusionary or otherwise.
