They're all the same and therefore interchangeable. Maybe some of yours have been damaged and straightened or rechromed at some time in the past?
The parts book lists FE FC front and rear as all the same part number.

I know that they all have the same part number, but I remember talking to an older panel beater who said that they were handed as front right was the same as rear left as in they were diagonally opposite. When you look at them from front on the left one is slightly shorter on the left hand side as the bar joins and is double thickness on the left and single thickness bar on the right.
I thought it might be a bit "over the top" being only the extra thickness of the bar on the outer side (maybe 3mm at the most).
I have never really measured them that accurately to see if he was right or not!

I've checked the FE parts book to see if maybe they originally were different and then later made the same, but the part number has always been the same.
The only way they can "appear" to be handed is by being bent intentionally by a panel beater or by accident.

This said, I always assemble a number of over riders when doing a bumper rechrome to find the best fitting over riders and also to adjust any that need a little fitting to get them right.
