[Lou][2.0.28] Vehicle orientation lost when blueprint reimported

2.0 allows users to now blueprint vehicles and their equipment grids. When creating a new blueprint, the direction that the vehicle had is retained inside of that blueprint as long as it remains in-save:

However, when a blueprint is exported to string and then immediately re-imported, the direction of the unit is lost and it's orientation defaults to north:

If I had to guess, I would suggest that perhaps the vehicle's "orientation" parameter (or equivalent attribute) is not being properly exported to blueprint string, as it is not present in its JSON dump. If this is the case, then the fix should be very straightforward.

This is not a major issue, but it may cause certain blueprints to become unplacable when the orientations are reset. Left-most is manually placed, middle is placed with a blueprint made in-save, and right is the in-save blueprint converted to string and back:
