Default Question about water pump drive seal

The water pump seal has 2 sealing lip surfaces; inner and outer. When it's installed, it should ride like this, correct?


engine side ___/__\____ pump side


And not this, correct?


engine side ___\__\____ pump side


These are representations of how it would look in cutaway if you were looking at the seal from the side, seated on the shaft.

there are some details on the water pump seal in these videos (not my videos, but perhaps helpful)
