Seems to have an exit on the rear end, and fits best into an
L-shaped dock for this.

Based on the detail at the front, it seemed the front also supported
load/unload, but none of the first pictures I looked at, made it apparent
where the seam was.

That's not all the detail of what goes on there, but that's enough to see
it is double ended, with the rear end being more of a volume-type entrance.
