Engine mount position.

I am renewing my mounts, got the new ones from ASAP overnight, when I ordered them the very helpful guy at the end of the phone advised the heavy mounts go at the rear near the gearbox.
Just double checking that that is correct before I fit them later.

I have an aquadrive so I was informed it is less important but if not I was told the hardness of the mount was very specific and you really need replace them like for like. Can you not do that and avoid general 'over the phone' advice? I did mine recently and literally change' them for identical ones at the same rating.

They are rated for my engine and gearbox according to Perkins specs, the ones I am replacing were not, just want to be sure the heavy ones go at the GB end.
