Flat side to hub as you would have assumed, or I would have anyway.

That sliding surface looks very dry. How's the corresponding surface on the sprocket carrier?
Laverdaroo:
That was hammered out witha apiece of hardwood as it wasnt coming out at all, the factory grease was bright orange and completely hard, hence why I suspect its the original. The whole thing was parched Ken. He's rebuilding the wheel so its getting fettled but the hub was well in there. The surfaces arent bad but arid dry so god only knows where this has been stored.
He's doing a bulld but has little space so we did it at mne. He paid £165 for a complete wheeel but pretty much junked the rest and building from scratch like I'm having to do.
Funnily enough,m the seal is in really good nick and is more than likely reusable in his case.
Oddjob:
You do realise that as the sprocket carrier came off it could have flipped the seal ;D ;D
Just as a matter of interest when these seals come off they tend to revert back to whatever shape they were manufactured in, if you flip them so in effect the inside is out and the outside is in they will try and flip back to standard. Have you tried doing that? Just as an experiment.
Sesman:
I’m leaning towards the rounded profile being outer. It kind of makes sense: as the two parts close the high point of the round profile will compress creating the seal…..just saying.
