Thanks everyone for the pictures and info.
I ended up going the same route as Pronto and Undercover87T and it seems cooperative so far. Check valve is between the vacuum block and the "clean" side of the catch can. A good way to check is to remove the hose (after the valve) with the car running and listen / feel for vacuum. No vacuum means the value is installed the wrong way.
Hopefully this will cure the puffs of exhaust smoke during startup when the engine is warm. If it reduces exhaust smell too, that's a plus!
