Default Q about washers and assembly of Shimano RX-100 Triple crank

I need help on properly reassembling a 10-year-old RX-100 T crank.

Which way should the inner chainrings be mounted? (manuals for newer
Shimano cranks have the markings facing the left side of the bike)

I somehow ended up with 5 thin washers. Where do they go?

Thanks,

Isaac

Neither Shimano US nor Shimano Europe have info on RX-100 or item
number FC-A550-T. I can mail them or even call. I just hoped that
someone here knew the answer.

BTW, from additional research and some "forensics" I'm guessing that
the markings on all the chainrings face "right" and that the spacer
washers go between the middle ring and the spider.

The chainwheel bolts and nuts are countersunk on aluminum
rings. Some steel rings have no depression and on those the
numbers are on the outside of the outside ring, on the
inside for an inner.
Shimano's thin washer goes between the arm and the inner
ring when using a steel or other thin chainring.
