In all my years with Minors I have never had to fit new wheel bearings - but generally the thrusts must oppose each other - so thrust is taken in both directions. I guess it probably doesn't matter if they face each other - or face away from each other - just as long as they are not both facing the same way.......

To me the top bearing is the inside face with the outside face looking like the one in the lower photo ??
