putting together a driveshaft with no phase marks

when i got my car the entire driveshaft and the vc were removed from the car, and separate. when i went to put it in i realized why; a locked up u joint in the rear which the previous owner had already taken off the flange yoke. so basically i have my driveshaft in 3 separate pieces, well 4 if you include the flange that attatches at the end, and there are no phasing marks on any of it. how would i put it back together and avoid vibrations?
is this picture correct? how do i make sure i'm not 180 degrees off when i put it back together with new u joints?

Since the rear half is fixed, there's no worry about phasing anyway.
The front half includes the viscous coupler, which slips and makes phasing irrelevant.
