Either can be positive, negative, or zero depending
on the value of the output impedance compared to Z0.

Would you please quote a reference that addresses
the subject of reflection coefficients from Thevenin
or Norton equivalent sources?

To the best of my knowledge, there is absolutely no
requirement that a Thevenin or Norton equivalent
circuit exhibit the same reflection coefficient
at the circuit it replaces.

It happens without effort because the output impedance
of the Norton/Thevenin equivalent circuit is the same
as the circuit it replaces, otherwise it is not an
equivalent.
