Borg and Beck clutch plate instructions

A few people have noticed this recent label appearing on Borg and Beck clutch plates for minis. Some have made fun of the 'obvious' mistake.
But it isn't wrong. All cars (north-south and modern fwd) have the engine on one side of the clutch plate and the transmission on the other side, as the plate says. Minis have an odd clutch setup but the side of the clutch facing the direction of the gearbox is away from the engine side. Same result.

I hear where you're coming from and agree with that in the broader sense, but here, I can see it leading to confusion and they'd likely do better leaving them as they always have been - unmarked.
