Parts pile growing, quick bushing question. 120-130

The pile of new parts waiting to go on once the weather warms up keeps growing and growing! In addition to new brake pads, shoes, lines, adjusters, hardware, and fluid I've been working on refreshing a set of suspension arms with new bushings.



I've managed to get most of the new bushings in myself, but the lower A arms and trailing arms are just too much for my pedestrian methods, so I'll be taking them to someone with a proper press. I forgot to photograph the large "butterfly" bushings before removing the old ones, and now I'm not sure which orientation is correct for the new ones (or if it even matters). The slight corrosion/pitting on the inside of the bore makes me think orientation A below is how the old ones were in there, but the picture on the IPD has them shown in orientation B.

Orientation A:


Orientation B:


IPD picture:


So, which is it? A, B, or none of the above?
