CV axle seal

Does anyone know if the cv axle output seal us the same part for the drivers side and the passenger side? I'm replacing the drivers side axle and I only see a seal listed for the passenger side at local parts houses. Thanks

These look different and one is labelled right,

Yes, thanks Larry. I found the correct part at a local parts house. I just got received the cv axle and I'm going to pick up the seal locally today. I buy a lot of parts from rockauto but I do like to buy some items from the local parts stores to keep them around. If the price difference if a lot though I order from rockauto. I also use rockauto to compare part numbers and verify compatibility. Thanks again
