Mine are the same too! I've wondered if the passenger side was replaced.
Folding latch = both on the right
Shoulder strap hook = both on the right
Doesn't make sense!
Mine's an early 69, Nov. 12 1968 in fact. Maybe they only ordered right sides for a period of time?
Anyone else?

Mine are the same. I changed them around last year since the seat cushion was better. Wife wasn't to thrilled............

Latch = Left on both seats (driver side is left)
Hook = Left on both seats (driver side is left)
Note: AIM shows hook should be left on driver seat and right on passenger seat. UPC1, F26

So it looks like the AIM is incorrect for 69, is that what you're saying?

AIM further shows a left and right guide (hook), so the guide on driver side left and passenger side right makes sense ..
I don't use shoulder belts, so I never noticed it before ...
Will change around to correct sequence.
Other than the guide (for shoulder harness only cars), all other seat parts appear to be the same, left or right.
