Default T56 seal orientation

Does anyone know the correct orientation for all the seals in the t56? I think l have them right but wanted to verify. The seals I am wondering about are.

Input shaft seal
inner shift rail seal
Inner output shaft seal
Outer output shaft seal

i am thinking all these seals go in such that the side with the inner lip and little metal coil thing around it go on the fluid side of the seal and the side that is the flat front goes to the outside non fluid side.

Is this right or not a universal truth or am I way off?

Thanks!
