your picture actually shows a band of small square magnets (See marks on the band) which may help solve the problem .
In the ETEC engines the magnets are individually glued and sometimes break off !! (cheap glue I guess) Find N/S alignment becomes critical for reassembly
In your case the whole ring seems made up of a band of alternating series of magnets.
Generating an AC signal from magnets simply comes from the changing (alternating) magnetic fields as the FW rotates.
That said your band of magnets should do the job in either position because the pick-up coil (s) would still output an AC signal .
just my opinion till more info is available. !
