Since it's basically an omnidirectional design then both (and more! )
If it followed the VMDG485 PCB layout then additional QAC 9557/9880 PCIe WLan is in top front corner(as it stands on a base LAN/WAN at rear) but no idea whether microslip/patch/PIFA/ antenna array locations have changed marginally?

There's no such thing as a perfect isotropic antenna in practice but since I suspect you were interested in radiation patterns a lot of research/testing went into the VMDG485 WiFi with Farncombe and Bristol Universities then possibly this might help:

Clearly VM didn't want to make the same design failures in both SH2 versions as found in the SH1(VMDG480)!

enjoy....
