500 Four ignition timing

Afternoon All
I had to take the advance retard unit out to free off the stuck bob weights. My question now is how to reinstate the cam tube in the correct position because as I see it, it is possible to set it 180 degrees out as fit fits back over the bob weight legs. I noticed a small mark on the edge of the cam but can't see any corresponding one on the inner part? :-[

See parts in white frames in pic. After reassembly it should look like this.

Mine looks a bit different to that but the numbers seem to be the same?

Not sure what bike that is from, my 500 looks like the first picture.
You can work it out, turning the engine over slowly by hand with a spanner, when the F 1.4 lines up with the timing mark, you can see if the high point of the cam is about to open the points on the left side, i.e. points for 1 and 4.

The advance unit does have 323 stamped on the bottom RH corner.
