Which part of the P wave represents the excitation propagation in the right atrium and which one in the left atrium?

Since the sinus node is in the right atrium, the first (early) half of the P wave represents the excitation propagation in the right atrium, while the second (later) half of the P wave represents the excitation propagation in the left atrium.
