Aileron attach bolt direction

Very simple question: Which direction is the head of the aileron attach bolt supposed to face? In the newer plans the cutaway for the inboard one has the bolt head facing towards the outboard and the original plans show it facing the other way.

If you zoom a bit on the attached picture you should see that Page 23-02 Rev 0 has them two different ways..... And the rev number never changed on the page despite vans changing the picture.

This is my last step to get the wings to 97% complete and store them :)

If there are no clearance issues, I would install the bolt from the outboard side and put the nut inboard due to dihedral.
