[T3] rear brake assembly question



I'm rebuilding my brake system, lines, hoses, wheel cylinders, calipers,
etc.  So far, all is well except for the installation of the Operating Link.
I'm confused... on the end that is installed on the side with Brake Shoe
Lever, the notch is stepped.

My question is:  Does the lever go on the short or deep part of the notch? 
Also, regardless of which part of the notch I pick, one of the Operating
Links will be upside down.  If I put them with the same side up then one
Lever is in the deep part of the notch and the other side in the short part.
Am I missing something or is the orientation not particularly important?  I
thought that perhaps one of the pieces was the wrong one, but when looking
at the spare drum assemblies I have in stock, the Lever is inserted to a
different notch on each wheel.  

Please advise.  Thanks,
