For that matter, is there a left and a right?

They are the same. One of them has been replaced. GM had a problem with the early ones coming apart and letting the engine roll to one side and holding the throttle in the wide open position. They changed the design so that even if they came apart the engine could not roll one way or the other. You probably have one of the old design and one of the new design.
