The oil comes in from the outside of the filter dirty from the engine, passes through the filter walls and returns through the tube in the centre.
If it is an original prewar Packard accessory filter it will be just the opposite. Oil enters the center and exits the side port. If it is a Packard postwar filter maybe found and added by a previous owner or something a dealership sold after the war then the flow will be as was originally described with inlet on the side. Aftermarket filters were also available at just about every garage and half the corner gas stations. Flow on those are anyones guess.
It will be easy to check. The tube coming from the fitting at the bottom port on the drivers side of the block is the supply side tube and you can follow it up to the canister port. Usually the inlet or outlet functions are stamped on the metal a short distance away from the port.
