All of the original Graflex cameras I've come in contact with show the 
"Grooves toward the ground glass" The fresnel is, in this case on the 
bellows side of the ground glass.  Sinar had theirs on the human side 
of the GG so it could be removed, and scratched, and broken and 
replaced at an extreme cost.  I suspect that Sinar had their rings 
toward the GG.
