Diels-Alder Product Orientation

[justadream]

Can someone confirm/deny whether the reaction product orientation is correct? (see attached picture that I drew)

I think my C and D might need to be switched in the product.

I've consulted multiple textbooks and they don't give a clear answer.

Wouldn't it depend on what orientation the C/D reactant was in? Here it seems like both products would form.

The top reaction would be what you drew, and you would get both orientations.
