Look at your Bentley manual, Chapter 2, fig. 7-9 for a good picture of what 
this cutout should look like. This photo is right side up, so you should see 
exactly the same orientation of the cutouts if you look in your calipers. [The 
cutouts in the pistons on the other side are mirror image of this: All 4 
cutouts should face down and a bit forward.]

Later replacement calipers don't have the cutouts at all.
