The older style of showing the naturals first can be enabled in Format / Style / Accidentals.
But, showing the key change after the repeat is really just incorrect. After all, the key only changes once. So I wouldn't be trying to reproduce that, even if some publisher in the past did things that way. It's just likely to cause confusion today when people reach the repeat, see the key signature, and think, "oh no, was I supposed to have been playing in some other key this whole time?"

"But, showing the key change after the repeat is really just incorrect."
It is not true. Gould say, it is incorrect. But not everything Gould says, is true. There are tons of published scores, where it is "incorrect".
- when people reach the repeat, see the key signature, and think, "oh no, was I supposed to have been playing in some other key this whole time?"
It is same, as I would say - key signature shouldnt be every system, because playere will be confused every system, he is playing in different key.
Generally, I am OK, to start with "Gould standards", but please, dont say it only truth.
There are also arguments against this Gould rule.
- repeat barline is barline (and keysig use to be placed after barline)
- key can change before end of repeat, and in souch situation Gould rule hase zero sense
- it is ugly
- there are tons of "old classical" beautiful printed scores, where it is after repeat

There are certainly aspects of Gould's suggestions regarding keys and repeats that are indeed not as universally accepted - like how to handle cases where the repeat is on both sides, and some editors will choose to flip a coin to place the change on one side or the other but Gould suggests placing it between the repeats. But this case is not so complicated and should be pretty non-controversial. A key signature that is not repeated should not go within repeats - this seems quite logical.
Certainly, if you are working for a publisher who requires following a different rule, it can be worth the trouble of "faking" notations like this, but without an unusual special reason, better to just go with the the norm.

Thank you, Marc. I am honored to be the latest beneficiary of the sage advice you've rendered through the years. Thanks also to Raymond and Sammik for sharing their thoughts and, in the process, introducing me to Elaine Gould.
