As a seal, I don't see which side would matter but as an anti squeek or vibration, then on outside. What is the mating surface of fender vs cowl look like? Is it big & flat enough the rubber would do some good?

I seem to recall however that not all fenders & doors were created equal. That center bolt sometimes was not tightened down totally otherwise the fender got sucked in too far vs the door edge. If that were the case, seal would not be of much value on outside but would with a nice steel washer pressing in on inside. Conversely, if bolt is tight will the extra 1/8 inch outside be enough to mess things up.
