Merging 2 profiles

I've been merging for some time but today I'm trying to approve a merge where the surnames are different, so I was being extra careful to make sure the remaining profile had the spelling of Fulham. The merge proposal doesn't make it clear what the merged profile will be. I know it's the second ID listed on the merge (when setting it up) but that's not evident to me when trying to approve a merge someone else set up. Does anyone know how to verify a new ID for a merge before approving it? (I looked at the merge tutorial but it doesn't seem to match today's merge options.)
I'm trying to approve Fullam-7 into Fulham-39

The person that completes the merge, will have the option of selecting the correct LNAB, so be sure to post a comment on both profiles, with reference to the sources for the surname, that should be selected.

Thanks for looking into this so quickly.
Soooooo, I had assumed when the merge is set up, ID #2 is set to be the New Profile ID and to change it would require a new merge proposal. Good to know it's not. It's really only of interest to me when the profiles don't have the same surname spelling.
I might wait and see what the other profile manager wants.
