Default Block Bolt Dowty Seals

Hi. I'm soon to be reassembling the block and I've got new block bolt dowty seals. The old ones looked pretty shot so I couldn't tell which way round they were. The new ones are subtly different on each side, I may be over thinking it, but does anyone know which way round they go? I.e. if face A or B is in contact with the head of the bolt?

Cheers!

I have just checked on one I have apart and it's B (the flat side of the metal bit) to the head of the bolt.

Thanks for checking, it's the opposite of what I would have expected, so well worth the question!

In the workshop manual it doesnt specify which way around they go so presume it doesn't matter anyway.
I just put them how they came off.
