El Cheapo fork seals / direction

I won these on eBay for $0.99. Yes 99 cents. There are no numbers, no lettering and no country of origin. Probably made in Uganda. Never the less, they don't look too bad and I am going to try them on my 550 project bike. Again I don't know which side is which. There are 2 lips and both have wound tension springs. I can tel you that the one on the left has a larger diameter lip by approx .5mm
One side is about 2mm undersize and the other about 1.5mm. That seems like a lot to me, but I have nothing to compare it to. Is this too much interference? Which side faces down (toward the oil)?
