On the Skorpion the breather sits horizontally, not connected to anything. So, if on the Mastiff and Baghira it's vertical, that's probably correct. It seems to be just a breather with a filter in it (the fat bit).
Will take a picture next time I've got the tank off.

Mine is hanging pointing downways, kept kindof in place with a cable tie. Just worried that this is wrong and should be secured or connected to some other component. Also does that mean I could replace the filter with one of those tarty car-type filters?

The one on my Baghira hangs down also and the cable tie is fine. I only thought I've ever had is to keep it from getting too close to the exhaust.
