Default Cup Clutch -- Which side to flywheel

I am about to install a new Sachs cup clutch. I've done this several times, and in the past, the disk has always been marked to show which side faces the flywheel. This one is not marked. I'm 99.7% sure I know, based on the old disks, but thought I'd throw it out there to confirm. Anyone?

I would imagine the protruding side of the clutch would go toward the pressure plate, like any other of the 944 clutches do.

The section that is raised around the splined center goes towards the PP.

backwards, it'll hit the flywheel bolts.

obvious when you're under the car and not so much when you're looking at the one in the box!

Thanks guys-- that's how all the old ones were too. I was just surprised it wasn't marked like the others.
