I just got one in today that I'm going to flip the saddles around in to turn it into a Reverse bridge instead of the Non-Reverse that everyone in the States sells. They say it has wide, flat rollers for the thick strings, and tight u-shaped rollers for the thin strings.

I have mine held up and using the bright white background of my monitor to see, as the all gold/brass bridge/rollers is very hard to see. It appears to me, the rollers for the thick strings is more of a v-shape, while the rollers that are supposed to be for the thin strings still have a slight v-shape, but are mostly u-shaped with steeper walls in the notched out area. Is it supposed to have a bit more surface area in the saddle for the higher strings because of the bends and vibrato or did they install these saddles backwards, which would save me time. It seems to my brain, the flatter of the v-shaped notches would be for the thick strings so they could sit down in the saddle a little better, but I'm probably wrong.
 
The V shaped are for the low strings and the U shaped are for the high strings.
