Default brake pad placement

between pulling my 04 road king's calipers for rebuild and putting them back on, my stuff got moved. Now I don't remember which pad goes inboard and which goes outboard. One pad has two small tabs and the other has a single larger tab.

can anyone tell me which is the outboard (outer) pad? it seems tight either way.

Look at the pads and you'll see they all have a rounded edge. The rounded portion of the pads face to the rear.
