Personally, if I were to buy a 'Wisby' gauntlet, I would like it to be as accurate to the originals as possible. Since all the plates of the Wisby 2 gauntlet were riveted to the inside of a covering, then that is what I would want. So, to answer your question, I would prefer the cuff inside. As for the thumb, the original had many plates, so I would go with the thumb on the right.

yeah, what he said. Plus the thumb on the right just LOOKS safer.

Just going by personal taste on appearance, left cuff, right thumb.
