Default Grooved brake discs, which way round ?

Right, I put some Tarox grooved discs on my FRST last year this way round

Which I thought was the correct way.

Last weekend I put some brand new discs on my RS1800 track car.

according to the stickers which were on the discs they go this way round

Doesn't matter about the direction of the grooves on the outside really, as Andrew says it's the direction of the vanes inside the disk that matter:

So they both might be right, I will check the vent direction.
