The logic with ORF is a little confusing.

The sender is the one who sends the prefix list to the reciever.
So in your example R4 would be configured with the capability to send
the prefix list to R1.
The prefix list that is sent to R1 is specified by applying the prefix
list inbound on R4.

Example:
R1:
neighbor 155.1.146.4 capability orf prefix-list receive <--Configured
to recieve prefix list from R4.

R4:
neighbor 155.1.146.1 capability orf prefix-list send <-- Configured to
send prefix list to R1.
neighbor 155.1.146.1 prefix list DENY-ROUTES in <--This is the prefix
list that gets sent to R1.
