they look right way round 
If straight vained vented discs it they are non directional
internal curved vanes should go that direction,(if you could see inside)
The outer groves top edge should hit pad first
Generally if correctly grooved the internal vanes are in opposite direction
I'll post a pic up later
IMHO

as a general rule ignore the actual machined groove on the outside and look at the central internal cooling vanes - on a good quality race rotor these are curved
looking at the top half of the discs they curve towards the back of the car
as mentioned above if they are straight internal cooling vanes then its not as specific

I know this is just a moan but if someone manufactures 'directional' discs or anything else for that matter why the hell don't they put some sort of arrow on them when they make them?
Especially, if like brakes, it will affect the performance.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

sorry only had the nearside picture which may have confused you obviously the drivers side is mirror image of that 
The curved internal rota vanes should be the opposite direction to the outer "Groves"

Hence why people never comment on "do my wheels fit?"
Because too many variations
There is never a simple yes or no answer

the "simple" answer is as per my original post..................
"ignore the actual machined groove on the outside and look at the central internal cooling vanes - on a good quality race rotor these are curved
looking at the top half of the discs they curve towards the back of the car"

ASP, do you know what type of internal vaning is in the K-Sports? IS it curved, or straight, vanes?
If curved, do you know how they curve with respect to the curved grooves on the disc face?
...I'm trying to determine if mine have been put on correctly.
