So, wondering what these fields equate to in practice? I'm assuming that they're generally about inbound/outbound network connections that are destined for the host that zeek is running on, right? If so, I'd actually switch this to use ingress/egress. The inbound/outbound stuff is when you're modeling around a network perimeter, like if you have a network firewall or something.

From zeek docs:

local_orig: bool
If the connection is originated locally, this value will be T. If it was originated remotely it will be F. In the case that the Site::local_nets variable is undefined, this field will be left empty at all times.

local_resp: bool
If the connection is responded to locally, this value will be T. If it was responded to remotely it will be F. In the case that the Site::local_nets variable is undefined, this field will be left empty at all times.

So I think inbound/outbound are the right pairs, since you have to define local_nets variable and traffic doesn't have to be to/from the zeek host.
