Default Which way?

Which way does the inner bearing seal for the rear trailing arm spindle go?
One side of the seal is slighty more concaved. Thanks in advance.

Their is no open side like on the outer seal, both sides of this inner seal are solid, with a slight concave on one side. Any idea? Thanks

The "wiper'" of a seal always points toward the area to be sealed.
