Other than the RH/LH are there really any other differences? I'm trying to remember taking them off my car a while ago and don't remember anything that would stop someone from taking one for the right and putting it on the left and vice versa

The difference is the air fins are curved and are directional. The air flow helps to cool the rotor. When turning in the correct direction. The air is taken from the center or inside and exhausted to the top or outside edge of the rotor. 
Brake wise they are the same, the cooling is what makes them directional.
