Default Can gaskets be installed upside down?

I'm talking mostly about the base gaskets. One side is "raised" and the other is "flat".

Which side up, or does it matter?

though its a competitors gasket i will go as far as to say it its typically raised "embossment" side up.

Rocker box gaskets?

I just installed Cometic metal base gaskets and I don't think they would go but one way due to the dowel/alignement holes.
