Yeah, they were backwards/upside down. I inspected and re used my 'New" seals from ducati.
I suppose I did not read enough/ understand how seals work.
The writing on the outside. The larger Surface area ( means smaller air gap) goes on the outside.
The main reasoning is, that the smaller surface are ( mean more gap for oil) to press on on the sealing lips and no writing.
Going by the spring location can be misleading as some (as the all balls shows) has two rings. The all-balls packaging has a picture on the outside.
I edited the ducati shop manual to include notes. It is of 2001 Ducati Monster S4, but with exception of the speed sensor, it works for 2002 ( in case some one want a PDF copy, I can email it)
Thanks again for the forum and help.
More than just saving money, but I believe I do the job ( after a mistake or 2) better or more proper as per the manual, than most shops.
