They should be facing the same direction, BUT the orientation marks still need to be at the same clock position.

Another key point is to make sure the bolt holes line up identically, so that you actually can bolt up the new FW so that the orientation marks on the crank to the FW match.
I cannot see how keeping them in the same position with respect to the clocking marks will result in an identical balancing, unless there is something in the method which corrects for it.
