Just checking out part numbers for some new wiper arms and the left and right have different part numbers. Are they not the same item? :?

I've painted them a few times but they always end up chipping and rusting again, time to treat myself. So what is the diffirence between left and right, is one longer or something?
Realoem has them down at $37 each. Not cheap but I've wasted more money on lesser items in the past.

Treat yourself to new wiper arms Ed, live life on the edge :)
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.
