Gibson style stop tail saddles

Hi guys, I have a very quick question - I noticed the saddles on a les paul of mine had 3 saddles facing one way & the other 3 facing the opposite direction. Is this correct? or should I take them out and have them face the same way (towards the back)

for example:

the "V" of the saddle faces back on the right hand side set of 3. On the left however they seem reversed. That's how mine is currently.

Is this correct? and why? I thought they would all face back, maybe i'm missing something.

Cheers,
Daz.

they'll be fine as it is, sometimes the saddles are reversed to get that extra length for Intonation, but if it's intonating well, I wouldn't worry about it.
