Hot Rails Magnet Configuration

Anybody know how a set of Hot Rails are configured as far as which rail/coil is the north magnet and which is the south magnet?

Are all Hot Rails pups configured the same or are, let's say, bridge pups setup with the north magnet on the inside and the south magnet on the outside (like a typical SD bridge humbucker) and the neck & middle pups setup with the north coil on the inside and the south coil on the outside (like a typical SD neck humbucker)?

I'm going to assume that the north coil is still the Black/White pair and the south coil is still the Red/Green pair. Is that a valid assumption?

Thanks.

Here's the answer from SD for those who might also be interested:

It is wire the same way. Black & white are North. Red & Green are
South. In the bridge position, the pickup will split to the north coil,
which is furthest from the bridge.

On the neck it's the same.
