Volvo Penta 5.0 GL exhaust manifold gasket orientation

[Augoose]

All,
I'm in the process of replacing manifolds and risers. I want to be sure that I have the orientation of the engine to manifold gasket correct. I read that the metal side should face the exhaust manifold but I'm having a hard time identifying the metal side.
One side has the manufacturing markings on it and the other side is blank, which appears to look more like metal to me but both sides are very similar.
The gasket that came off my engine had similar manufacturing markings on the side facing the manifold.
Thanks

Ayuh,..... It don't matter, at All,......

Either way is just fine, they're symmetrical,...
