Inrush thermistor placement

Here's the first page of the datasheet linked in post #1 above. There is one very important word in the section heading, and a very important label {marked in red} on the Figure.

Here is the Power Supply schematic for the First Watt series of amplifiers designed by Nelson Pass. Did he place the inrush current limiting thermistor correctly? His schematic symbol for an inrush current thermistor is a resistor with an arrowhead and the label "TH".

Looking at the datasheet for the CL series thermistors https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/18/AAS-920-325D-Thermometrics-NTC-Inrush-031814-web-1315885.pdf it shows the thermistor being placed between the rectifier and the filter cap. Is there any issue placing it in with the transformer primary?
IMPORTANT: are you talking an SMPS (the HF transformer is irrelevant here, it´s after the switchers) or a conventional PSU, with a 50/60Hz iron transformers?

The example is for SMPS, you seem to be talking conventional, not the same thing AT ALL

EDIT: examples above are perfectly fine for SMPS, but it looks like you are talking THIS:

so please clarify.

They are calculated different.
EDIT 2:
Did he place the inrush current limiting thermistor correctly?
yes, he´s talking 50/60Hz iron transformers here, not what astrouffer showed in the OP or your first answer.
