Default Oil Pump Gerotor Orientation

I have my oil pump on my bench in pieces and mindlessly grabbed a rag and flipped a part or two so I lost exactly how the gerotors came out. Can anyone tell me what these little dimples are supposed to align to?

I have exploded drawing views, but none with dots or dimples.
Never mind, just found it. They all face out.

Dimples align to the same side. If you didn't take note, compare witness marks to see if you can tell how gerotors were oriented.

For each matched set they only need to be on the same side.
