Can anyone confirm if these pumps are fitted with a one way valve?

One way valves in each end of the bulb usually

Re: Diesel hand primer pump/bulb
I changed the pump bulb on my daughter's Vauxhall Vivaro recently and discovered that the colour of the valve (black or white) indicates which direction the flow is. Why might that be important? On the Vivaro (Renault Trafic, Nissan Prrimastar) one end is straight and the other is at right angles. Guess which way round the one I bought was!
