If you look in Mackey's Encyclopedia, ( http://books.google.com/books?id=cdoSAAAAYAAJ ) on page 326, he states that each of the three sides should contain the tetragrammaton. The current jewel was actually introduced by Mackey in 1856, and so I think we can trust him on that count.
As far as earlier jewels go, I can not find an example, and so I must assume that it would follow the pattern set by other Past jewels.
