Yes I did just to see what it looked like - two vanes with a spring between them.  I was careful to return everything the way it was, but now I'm wondering if I could have messed up somehow ..  I didn't double check.  (':lol:')
I'll take the bottom part off and take a look, to make sure.  I haven't reinstalled the oil pan, yet - luckily.  
  I believe the flat end of the vane should point in the direction of counterclockwise.
