It's the outside levers that are different.

If you have the respective levers still in tact on the backing later if you hold the backing plate as it should be on the rear and look at the direction the angle of the levers are, if on the correct side it should point inward toward the center crossmember. If it points outward it is on the wrong side .

Other than that the backing lattes themselves without the levers attached are the same
