Here is a photograph of the RX3 water pump.

The impeller of the water pump rotates in a counter-clockwise direction. Because of the orientation of the impeller vanes, and the location of the coolant passage to the cylinder, I was under the mistaken impression the coolant flowed from the cylinder to the right radiator.

However, the video I posted demonstrates the coolant flows in the other direction.

As always, thanks to Katflap and Juanro for providing good information, and correcting my error.
