That's correct. For parts that are "handed", odd numbers are always lefts; 
evens are always rights.

Above, but it's possible that the plastic has become brittle over time, so be 
careful. The good news is that they came OUT without breaking.

Flip them the other way. The large downward port plugs right into the 
openings in the A pillar. That leaves the sideways port pointing toward the 
middle vent, which you haven't pictured. There are tubes which connect 
each side vent to the center vent. After '70 those tubes are corrugated 
plastic; I don't remember whether the earlier tubes are plastic or paper.

I have a LOT of the later parts, but I don't know if I have any of the early 
ones. The tubes that run to the center may fit both.
