[Elecraft] Question regarding paddle wiring

I have a K2 which, of course allows the user to switch between left handed 
or right handed use of the CW paddles, so this question might seem academic, 
and perhaps it is.

I have a question as to which way to wire my bencher paddles to conform with 
any standard that might be out there.  Obviously the ground should go to the 
ground portion of the plug,.  Can anyone tell me if the tip connection of 
the plug generates the dots and the middle (is that considered the 'ring'?) 
the dashes, or is the other way around?  As I said for he K2 it doesn't 
matter, but if I use these paddles on a different rig, it might (I have 
enough trouble sending righty, if I try sending left handed I'll really be 
in trouble...hi).

Tnx for your help
