Shimano crankset: symmetric or asymmetric?

https://bike.shimano.com/en-EU/produ...0/FC-M645.html

Are the holes in104x4 Shimano Zee FC-M645 symmetric or asymmetric?

Any issues in using the chainring with other cranks?

I've got a Zee crank on my BMX bike and I put a Box chainring on it so it looks like it's symmetric.

Thank you.
Looks like Shimano 4-hole 110 BCD chainrings are asymmetric, with the rest being symmetric.

Oops, looks like 94 (?) BCD are asymmetric as well.
