FoMoCo on rear window of 55 f100

The existing rear window for my 55 was installed with the FoMoCo readable (not reversed) from the inside and on the drivers side. It appears that it could be installed with the FoMoCo readable from the outside on the passenger side. Which side is correct?

My 55 F350 had the original rear window when I bought it. The FoMoCo , I think, was in middle bottom. I just looked in my files on my desktop but I couldn't find pictures of it. When I got it painted in 2018 I told my body man to remove it, fix any rust he saw and put a new rubber on and put it back in. Unfortunately he tried to remove it by taking it out the rear. He cracked it. I was ticked off but what could I do? He did pay for the replacement.

Bugs, as those little name etchings are called, are installed to read from outside the vehicle.

not all
the 56 side glass is all etched the same and when installed one side is backwards and one side is correct

as for the small back window it should be on the right pass side lower corner

Thanks all for the replies! Per Kevin to the passenger side it goes. I've got a buddy in the glass business and he says that the new stuff that's out there will remove, or at worst minimize, the wiper scratches/marks/other with proper polishing; we'll see.

Opps; after I re-read my reply I was talking about the windshield with the scratches/etc. The rear glass I think I can clean up fairly easily.
