Question Front brake discs vane correct orientation

I'm a bit confused about the correct installation of front brake discs with curved vane.
Should the vane facing to the rear or to the front of the car?

The proper orientation one is, well, proper. The Turbo's and 968's both have air ducts that deflect air towards the hub, meaning the rotation will help pull air in through the center, and exit out of the perimeter
