Yes, that is correct. GM placed the mounting holes in the same location on both sides, and then noticed the vent pillar blocked the mirror head, so the solution was a longer arm on the right side.

I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. Just checked my '69 and they are different. Been driving this truck for over 6 years and never noticed. Even had both off and in my hands when I painted it and didn't see it.
Ya learn something everyday...
