They can go on either day. I did it that way so that you work your legs twice a week instead of just once. Deadlifts work more than just your hams and lower back. http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/drobson101.htm
Also by placing deadlifts on your pull day allows you to focus more on your squats on leg day.

RDL's - romanian deadlifts
Front squats- you place the BB across the front of your shoulders
Back squats- the regular kind with the bar across your upper back
ATG- squatting past paralel until your butt is almost touches the floor
CG bench press- close grip bench press, 6" space or less between your hands

Oh shit your right. Wasn't thinking.

I do WSB type work, where I have two Max Effort days, and two dynamic effort days using various exercises.

I follow them up with a DC's training.

Each bodypart, 2 x in 8 days or so.

Deads work 75% of all your muscles. So there's no reason you can't do them on pull day.

I can say if you go heavy enough on squats, it would be tough to go heavy on Deads. Once I work my legs, I'm wasted for the day. So I prefer Deads on pull days myself.

Not only that, if you look at 99% of 3 day P/L routines you'll see the following

Mon: Squats

Wed: Chest

Fri: Deadlifts
