Good question. I should have thought about that in the explaination.
The one on the left (the 'U' shape) is the butt end of the leader. The one on the right, the bend, is the leader.
If you do a google search for the " castwell knot" I think you will find a much better demonstration of the knot but it is on a web site with another forum.
If you reverse it the knot will not hold. I know cause I tried it several times in the reverse fashion. It just seemed to me to be the correct way to to it but it is not. Each time it pulled undone without much exersion.
I will edit my post to include that bit.
