Where are the North and South Pole on stator magnets for an electric motor?

Question

If you take a simple DC brushed electric motor, there are often 2 separate permanent stator magnets on the outside. In diagrams these are often simply portraited as N on one side and S on the opposite side.

But each of these magnets has their own N and S poles, doesn’t it? Where are they located, along which axis?

Answer 1

One has S on the inside and N on the outside, the other is the opposite. The steel motor casing lets the ouside fields link up.
