Default Rear MAIN CAP bearing????

Hey guys, I am putting my new motor together and seeing something I have not seen before and need some help. I was about to install the crank, and notice the rear main cap has a notch on both sides so the rear main bearing will turn either way. I know the rear main cap is backwards apposed to the others, but what about the bearing, which way ( notch) should I install it? Thanks.

The tang of the bearings should all be on the same side of the motor (driver's) for the block, and the the tangs for the bearings in the caps should all face the passenger's side.

The #5 cap is reverse of the #1 cap and also has it's stamp on the opposite side as compared to all of the others.
