Sea Harrier - Sidewinder firing order?

Hi folks. A modeller is building the last sidewinder kill of Op Corporate. From the forum;”I am building XZ499 as it was at the time of the last air-to-air kill in the Falklands.

I plan to build it in flight and on the way back to Hermes.

Is there an order in which a Sea Harrier would launch it's Sidewinders? Port or Stbd first, or would it be selectable by the Pilot.

Does anyone know or have a picture of XZ499 recovering to deck at the time?

I presume Lt David Smith's aircraft would have come back with one missile aboard?”

Any help would be appreciated so I can give him feedback.
