Default Running Board bracket differences

I have several running board brackets that I have cleaned up ready for paint. Can anyone advise as to the difference between the left rear and right rear brackets? On the forged brackets I cannot clearly distinguish part numbers to tell right from left.

From my recollection, I believe the front brackets are the same for left and right. I believe the rear brackets are different as the frame angles outward so the brackets have a slight angle to fit to the frame. I can't be sure, as I don't have my runningboard bracket handy tonight. Maybe someone will correct me if I have them reversed. The front brackets are longer than the rear brackets.

Also make sure you have the correct forged or stamped for the time of build.
