Flipping cogs on an old uniglide cassette

I think I read somewhere that you can flip the cogs over on the old dura ace uniglide cassettes
and extend the wear of the cogs. Is this true?

There is a built-in spacer which goes to the inside when installing.
Edit: If you could make or find a suitable spacer you might be able to turn the cog around.
