I got these in a little horse trading (money) and what I have seen on here in other Threads some are a little different than these. Now I am not for sure on which is left or right. Can I get a little help here. Thanks in advance.

Others. The last two are with a flash, all others No flash

Does this mean the oval vent has a oval shaped hose for it?

No oval hose they are round and you squeeze it to fit . New defroster vents sell on ebay for $4.95 each.

As a random tip, I sandblast the repros at light pressure and it gives them a texture much closer to the originals (not so smooth and shiny). It also gives the paint more bite.

This assumes you need to paint to match, of course.
