Double Bass Schumann 3 (Rhenish) - bowing

For anyone that has (or has not played) this, looking to see if the bowing I have in red are what can work, please. Don't have the cello part and NYPhil archives seem to match what I have attached. I can't remove the previous version, but the one on the right (with the lighter red) is the version to use. Not quite sure what to do when ties span across bar lines and where the bow needs to change direction.

Thanks

I would probably be tempted to use an up bow on 219 and start the phrase on 220 with a down bow, up bow on 221, leaving you with the down bow as marked on 222. As a crescendo leads us into bar 215, I presume 217 on is quite loud and the extra bow changes will help with more volume.
I have only looked at the second version you provided.
