If they are on the left (yellow) side, they are empty, if I move them to the right (black) side, they are full.

How do you work our which is which when you open it up and a bunch of cards just fall out?

They don't fall out. They are held pretty tight on the rubberized holders. Actually you need to pry them off with a fingernail.

I have what looks to be that exact holder. The cards go in pretty tight. You mostly need to pry them out with a fingernail. However when the thing is getting bumped around in transit, some of the cards still manage to fall out no matter how carefully I make sure they are initially inserted.

I also have subsequently seen some comments from other customers (on US Amazon?) complaining of the same thing.

Now its possible they have refined the design since I bought mine, but as this was only in March of this year ......

And was that black means empty? or was it Yellow?? Hmmm....

Well, that's kind of an organizational issue.

Indeed. However the point I'm trying to make is that having full and empty cards together on a paid for shoot where there is any possibility whatsoever of human error getting them mixed up is bad. Very bad. I'm trying to give you advice here from someone who's been there and done it! I would seriously rethink your strategy.

I have the same case.   It's great.    I just lock the card, and turn it backwards when full.    That's what I do.
