SYNCROS Titanium Bottom Bracket 1995 or 1996

Anyone experienced before with the SYNCROS Titanium Bottom Bracket can help?
Is mine a 1995or 1996? Certainly it is not the 1997 which had the metal shell.

How many bearings should there be in the bottom bracket?
Because from what I saw from the catalogue there should be just 1 on each side. = 2 pieces.
When I got it dismantle I discover there were 1 on one side....2 on the other side.

Which side is the "Drive Side"?

Appreciate anyone can help.

Thank you for your time.

I got some clue here from the 1993 PDF Catalogue.
This could be the 1993 GORILLA Series.

2 bearings on the drive side.
 
But the shell that I got here belongs to a 1994 & 1995.
In 1994 SYNCROS introduced 2 different bottom bracket design base on the 94 catalogue:
1. Pro Series
2. HARDCORD. (INA Bearing)

Mine Syncros Ti = Grey Shell 45º slope design
