On my '69, the louvers angle rearward.  On my (non-running) '70 and on a
spare set of late fenders I have, the louvers angle forward.  I don't think
those late forward-facing louvers catch any significant air by themselves.
After all, it is the fan that draws the air into the engine.  In fact, maybe
they are a detriment as they could catch more dust than the rear-facing
louvers.
