The reverse light housings are unique per side, as the bottom portion of the lens curves out further than the top. Also, there's a small vent in the top of each. That being said, they cannot be rotated 180 and installed upside down.

Good to hear you came across some. I'm assuming you haven't seen one of these assemblies off the car but, when you do, you'll see what I'm talking about (being unique per side).
