Question Wheel bearing seal (front) - lip inside or out?

In replacing the front wheel bearings on my '87 951, the new seals are different and have a 'lip' on one side - are these correct and should it be mounted toward or away from the hub? (see attached pix).
Thanks-
Chris

Pretty certain that it's lip outside.

Yes, outside. The spindle tapers down so if you put it on the inside, it won't contact and seal against the spindle.
