Where does engine oil fall down to the pan?

I'm trying to design custom baffle & sump for my custom oil pan which is only about 3" thick. This is for a 3 rotor motor. Could someone help me out in pointing out where the oil squirts into the pan from the engine? or some existing baffled oil pan design that I can copy would be great too! I couldn't find any for a 3 rotor engine. Thanks!

Attached is the picture of the bottom of the engine for reference.

I think these are the areas. Someone else needs to chime in.

I wish I had bought my car's original engine with the car - just for reverse engineering purposes, I'd like to have a better understanding of it's inner workings.

Jeff, you are correct, sir. It comes down from the irons. High speed jets come from the two regulators (one in front and one in back), so these need to be baffled. Information is from Mazdatrix who has been very helpful throughout my process! Who else pick up their phone, speak English, & know about 20b these days? That seems to be a hard combination to come by...
