Thanks Fred and Oztatman for your quick response. Just as I suspected. If there is a 50/50 chance I can get them reversed, it's a 75% chance I will.
Was there a felt gasket or seal inside of the "grease container" (the sheet metal gutter that diverts leakage to the back of the backing plate)? Oztatman, is there a way of searching your "Wades blog" to get to one of your excellent photos of a specific subject or activity?

A way to tell orientation, backing plate has a tab with a hole in it near the rearward (secondary ) shoe as ananchor for a short spring. This spring adds extra spring force and allows the primary(front) shoe to engage first.
There is a paper gasket between the grease shield dna teh backing plate, it keeps the leaking grease from getting on to the inner backing plate and then the linings
