Universal Robots UR5e: Our nest insert can apparently go in backwards

I'm reviewing changeover for our planned placing machined components in changeover fixtures with Universal Robots UR5e in a small robot fixture station. The nest insert for a rigid connector housing closely resembles another family insert and appears reversible in its mounting. Before automated use, I'd like to establish how tooling identity, orientation and the selected recipe should be checked together.

Can the reversed insert reach the intended seat, according to the drawings? Check that first, alongside which insert revision the recipe expects.

@BrunoArcher0365 My drawing shows symmetric mounting features around an asymmetric part datum. The setup sheet also specifies only the insert family, leaving the revision undefined.
