Help! Muffler Bracket - Which Way Is Up?

Guys - Need your kind assistance on this one!

I am ready to hang my new (used) Dansk sausage muffler, and I have noticed that the horizontal hanging bracket has offset holes for the main support bolts. I did not catch this subtle difference during disassembly, and so I now have a 50/50 chance of putting it wrong side up since this horizontal bracket can be fitted either way round.

See enclosed pictures of the backside of the muffler, where I have noted that the dimension from the edge to the bolt centerline is about 31 mm down and about 18 mm up from the bottom, as I have it installed at the moment.

Is this the right way up?

Or, do I have it bass ackwards, and the 18 mm distance goes towards the top, while the 31 mm is down towards the bottom edge?

This muffler is heavy, and I do not fancy the idea of having to uninstall it after discovering too late that I have it the wrong way up!

With many thanks - DM
