It's more important that the directional vanes are the right way around, Andy

Picture the vanes orientated so the fling the hot air out of the rotor

The rears don't have directional vanes so they can be fitted the other way around.

But they are just grooved discs and don't have directional vanes, so can go the other way around to match the fronts.
