Default Head Gasket Crimped or Rolled Edges Up or Down

I'm Confused. On a Head Gasket, where the Copper or Steel wraps around (rolled edge) about 1/16 of an inch, and crimped. Which way does it go on Engine, Up towards the Head, or Down towards the Block???

I was always told, the stamped Manufactures Name goes up, against the Head, if it doesn't say this side up.

I'm having my head resurfaced, I one I put on years ago was a McCord 5571 steel gasket with the name to the Head, which put the rolled crimped edges up. Engine ran fine. I have a New Copper Gasket with no Stampings on it.

Doing some Research Macs catalog says rolled edges up.
Les Andrews Res Book Vol. 1, says Down, to the Block. Page 1-149
This video Link, he says and shows Down.
