Default 68 upper control arm problem

I had both my upper & lower control arms sand blasted and powder coated. The numbers on the upper control arms are gone. How can I tell which is the right side and which is the left side? The bottoms are easy.''Thanks!

Hope this helps. From my 72, all C3's are the same I think.

Thanks, 20mercury that does help! It looks like the curved edge goes to the front and the short-side goes to the back.

Hi,
I'm unaware of any sort of part number or identification on the upper control arms either.
Regards,
Alan
