Default fitting farndon rods question?

Got some farndon rods for yb.

theres no markings on them to say if they go a certain way bar the Burtons logo so i just faced all the rods with logo towards front pully end.

but when you look from bottom of engine when rods are fitted with out caps on rods 2 are differnt ways ie the knotch were the bearing sits is on one side on 2 and the other 2 the notch is on the other side of rod. im sure it dont matter but like conformation
