It does the same in the reverse direction. Since I have the set apart, I can't put it back in and test it in real time.

I read that audio pots can be linear or logarithmic and there is usually and "A" or "B" on it to note which, but this pot has no such marking.

It's the 63-10263 and is 40K.
What Chassis?
