I've got a set of Wood & Pickett style fibreglass flares and there are two different lengths of flare, however the short and long ones ones seem to fit just as well at both front and rear. The attached pics show the short flares fitted to front and rear and there is still a small section of the wheel arch lip exposed on both.

So, are they short flares supposed to fit on front and long flares on the front, or vice versa? If anyone can post a pic of a fitted set of W&P (on a Clubman), that'd be awesome.

If one type has more of a curve on the wide end it will be for the rear.

It is a bit hard to tell on your mini without the seams :)

I bought a set (just in case) and the rear ones fit down to the seam. The front ones go down to the bumper

Front arches are longer and wider at the 12 o'clock position by about 3/8 - 1/2 an inch.
Back ones are shorter since the rear bumper normally sits a little bit higher than the front one on a round nose.

These are the Wood and Pickett style plastic ones from Minispares on a Clubman.

On the minisport website, the plastic W&P flares have a notch out for the front wing seam (which you don't have...), but it appears on the long flare which would suggest they be up front???
