Since you said that the new one looks different, I don’t know what it looks like, but I'll try to explain it. You can see if the explanation makes any sense for what you are looking at.
The normal seal that I have seen in that location would look a lot different on one side than the other. One side would be flat, and the other side is "open" so to speak. If it looks like you could use it as a cookie cutter, the side that would do the cutting goes into the rear end, and when installed, you would see the other side.
If the seal is "closed" on both sides, look at the rubber lip in the center. It will be dished in one direction, that is, the inside diameter will point in one direction. The direction it points goes in first. In other words, lay the seal flat on a table on whichever side that puts the rubber lip of the inside diameter closest to the table. The side with the lip closest to the table goes in first.
If you can't figure it out, and have a digital camera, you could post a pic of each side. If you can't figure out how to post pics here, get my e-mail from my profile and e-mail them to me. If you do that, try to make the file small.
If you put it in the wrong way around, it will leak. When you install it, don't let the rubber lip turn inside out as you put it in.
