Default 68 Bird rear axle bearing question

Folks,

I'm about to install new rear bearings on my axle shafts. Nothing on there for bearings at the moment, so clean to do this. I bought a pair of the Timken RW507CR bearings.

These bearings look the same on both sides. Is there a front and back side, or doesn't it matter for installation?

Yeah, I know, sounds obvious, but I don't want to start pressing and find out there's some sort of slight taper on the inner race that I've mucked up by doing it backwards.

Thanks again for the help.

OJ

Either which way is fine on the sealed axle bearings like the RW507CR.
