I have a very similar setup here at home - however I deliberately used
a different make/model of card for the external interface than the
internal interfaces so that I could  distinguish them:

external: xl0
internal: rl0, rl1, rl2
wireless: ral0

PCI cards are detected in the order they appear in the bus, which has
absolutely no relationship to their physical positions.
