Strut rod bushing cups direction

[Len69Coupe 33]

So finally getting back to assembling the front end. When I removed the strut rods the bushing cups concave side faced the bushings. Now I'm installing synthetic elastomer bushings that are supposed to be softer than polyurethane, but better life than rubber. Bing searches reveal some photos of the rear cup with the concave side (convex against bushing) facing the rear of the car. People have said this helps reduce the stress on the strut rods. What's the right way?

Here's the bushings.

The bushing cups should cup the bushing.  That reverse rear cup thing started , my theory, with an incorrect MOOG product.  I like that Drake C6OZ-3A187-AR kit.  Don't understand why they don't just sell it with the correct C6OZ-3A187-A rubber bushings.  Brian
