Fairino FR5: Nearly identical inserts, different setups: what should we check?

I'm reviewing changeover for our planned placing machined components in changeover fixtures with Fairino FR5 in a mixed-product assembly workshop. The nest insert for a compact aluminium 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

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