New Melling m72 Oil pump plug installed wrong?

Was just looking over my new Melling m72hv oil pump and noticed the pressure spring plug looks to be installed backwards? My regular Melling pumps and my old high volume pump the plug is installed the other way? Covid quality control?

Why would it be in there any other way? Have assembled freeze plugs or oil galley plugs before? They’re in the the same way.
