Can anyone tell me how to confirm which way round the brass headlamp vacuum valve should be fitted?

My car came with them when i bought it and
they look very much like yours and they were not intended for use in a car.
The rubber seals "melted" after a while.
I think the petrol fumes dissolved them.
Just my experience.
