MG Midget and Sprite Technical - What direction 1275 con rods go?

I am building a Sprite 1275 engine with H-beam conrods with pressed in piston pins. Which side of the rod faces the camshaft? Both sides look the same other than the matching numbers stamped on the rods and ends.

They are not symetric front to back.
Get the small end in the middle of the bore and all numbers will point to one side.
And iirc that is with the numbers to the cam

Numbers towards cam sounds correct... unless they've been restamped. They only go one way.
