I've seen them both ways, cheaper headset with smaller bearings typically have the fingers pointing into the cup. Nicer headsets like Tange and Shimano has the fingers pointing out of the cup.

Take the bearing retainer out the bottom cup and slide them down the fork to see how they lay on the crown-race. If the bearings touch the race evenly both ways, they either orientation will work.
