Yes, all present and correct, this immovable object has the inside notches on the cup as well as the outside notches on the non-drive side cup.
The reason I went for the outside ones was that I do not have the tool for the inside ones and my big Shimano lock-ring spanner too fits the outside notches - not that it did me any good as it just tore off the edges of the notches as you can see above.

So both normally threaded, like a standard bolt or screw, this is the way I attempted.
