Slight mistake: Barrels put on incorrectly

I was around at Dave's with Paul assembling Dave's engine and Paul made me aware of the slightly different way the studs are put into the two barrels.
So today, I had to change the barrels over and put the heads back on. This sort of thing tends to happen when 50 weeks go by between engine dis-assembly and re-assembly
I had to use another base gasket as one of them disintegrated a bit upon dis-assembly.
On the front barrel the 2 long studs are one above the other on the LHS of the bike to take a radiator mounting bracket. See picture for correct orientation of barrels and heads.
