Default Caliper Bracket Question

Are the right and left brackets interchangeable for the front and rear calipers? If they aren't how do I tell left from right?

Stupid me, I labeled the tape I used to cover the threaded parts, then proceeded to paint over the marked tape.

I dont believe so, the smaller brackets will be for the rears.

Yes I know...my question is, for example, are the rears interchangeable side to side?

Same question for the fronts.

They are interchangeable side to side.

The calipers are not intrchangeable ... when installed the bleed screw must be UP at the top of the caliper.
