Default Front parking light bezel

Several in our club are trying to decide the proper arrangement for the chrome bezel on the front parking light on our 65 and 66 convertables. I have looked thru my NCRS books and several other referance materials. I have seen a couple of pictures where the mounting screws are verticle and several where they are horizontal. Which way is the correct way? Also, the chrome bezel is tapered. What is the proper arrangement for the bezel, fat half up or fat half down?

Lens screws are oriented vertically, and the fat side of the bezel goes on the outboard side.
