Default 28 roadster wood bows

Have a very rough set of cut and chopped 28 phaeton bows.

Got 3 bows as it was chopped for a ute.

Resurrecting to fit roadster.

One wooden bow, (not the front one, as it still has post brackets on it), has a curve on one side.

Is this the back one?

I put it both ways, upwards and downwards on back and both ways do not look quite right.

The downward side to try and match the curve of the body behind the seat a crossways , or upwards to round the roof off at top.

Which way does the curve go?

Maybe this drawing helps you? I have forgotten where I found it, but I think it was on this forum.

Pic should explain it.

To clarify the curve is from side to side.
