Default TC88 inner cam bearings

Just installed both inner cam bearings w/ones supplied in an S&S cam install kit.NOW been reading that the numbers on the bearings should face out.I don't see any numbers facing out on the ones I put in.I wasn't really looking for numbers nor did I notice any (ofcourse they are probably really small) when installing-more so because they look the same on both sides and are flat rollers.Anyhow,If I pull these new bearings back out,can I reuse/flip them provided they're not binding in the cage?.......OR do I even need to pull them back out?

I would pull them and get new ones. They're cheap enough, I wouldn't risk it.
