Yes, they do have different part numbers, but doesn't necessarily mean that they are different in any way.
I guess I will find out at some point.

Oddly, the Arnott website doesn't provide a way to order left or right sides when you place your order for a rear strut. I didn't know about the non-interchangeability at the time but someone from Arnott called me the next day and asked which side I needed. He confirmed that they are not the same and cannot be interchanged.
I believe that the struts are the same for '90 to '92 so it could be that later years are interchangeable. It may also be true that the front struts are interchangeable; I don't have any definitive knowledge about that.

With regard to my car, a 1993 JDM Clesior, which is the only only one I can speak for - the FRONT shocks are interchangeable side to side but the REAR are not.
