Default Difference between upper control arms ?

I bought a upper control arm from a forum member here. My upper control arm has a number 1 stamped on it. The one I was sent has the number 2 stamped on it. I do not know if both of them are the same. ( driver side )

A photo might help. If they look identical I wouldn't worry about it.

If the parts look the same, it could be a two cavity mold for the part. Does it have a part number cast in that matches?

Kind of tough to put them side to side because mine bent and snapped from the accident. Looks ok but the stamped number difference has me worried. I will have to text the seller.
