Default 51 f1 front brake backing plates

Hello all. The backing plates on this f1 are apparently right and left. Plates are bare back from the powdercoater. No part numbers visible. Any way to tell the difference? Both look the same to me. Thanks

Looking at the outside wheel cylinder leans toward 1 o'clock. On backwards the hose interferes with the top of the kingpin

Thanks Skidmarks. That would have sucked to do it twice.

Should have said the right leans to 1 o clock and the left to 11 but its easy to tell holding them up

Aren't they marked with an R and L on them? I would have to go look, but fairly sure there is an R or L stamped on the inside of the backing plates.

They were pretty beat up before powder coating. Couldn't see anything. Thanks for the reply.
