Yea when I removed mine it was big lip (seal end, flat side) towards the cv.
Look at it like this. You use seals to keep oil grease etc in. The oil is thinner than grease so you want to keep the oil in the diff, so you place the seal as if the diff was a bearing, not the cc. Hope that makes sense..
