Dormer roof verge - are tiles wrong way round?

[Dave2759]

Hi,
Just had the verge of the dormer roof done at the front of the house and I think some of the tiles have been installed the wrong way round (see picture) with holes visible. I think the guy was using some reclaimed tiles and the other edge was dirty. This is irritating as it is at the front of the house. Am I being fussy?

Shouldn't the tiles be sitting bedded onto on a backer board of some kind or was it like for like replacement

it was a like for like replacement. Looking at old dormer, there were a couple of similar tiles with holes showing, they just weren't as visible due to aging.
