Door Latch Remotes

[coralhead]

I started working on my '50 3/4 ton doors and ran across a question regarding the latch remotes. On the rh door the lever arm is facing down with the flat rod located in the formed recess. (parallel with the recess) On the lh door the lever arm was pointing up and the flat rod was at a downward angle and not in the formed recess. Do I have some mismatched remotes or is this normal? Should the flat rods both be located in the formed recess? See pics below.
