An L1011 captain reporter filed a gapp 2 SID heading 350 degrees off sfo which was confirmed in the pre departure clearance. However, the first officer thought a sfo 6 SID heading 030 degrees was assigned and mentioned this to the captain. After takeoff, they flew a heading of 030 degrees until the controller corrected them.

Narrative:

On takeoff, copilot said we were given sfo 6 departure when in fact we had filed gapp 2. Pre departure clearance showed gapp 2 also. On takeoff, we turned right to 030 degrees when we were supposed to turn left to 350 degrees. After takeoff I was handling radios and just before switching to departure I remember tower saying '350 degrees.' when I changed to departure we were asked what SID we were using. My answer was sfo 6 and we were informed we filed and were cleared gapp 6. We were given 'turn left to 350 degrees.' no other statements were made. This all took place between takeoff and 1500 ft. There was no conflict with other aircraft.
