The passenger-side axle turns clockwise; the driver-side turns 
counterclockwise. But seriously--are there no part numbers cast or 
stamped into these pieces? More importantly--does ETKA show different 
parts (i.e., numbers) for right and left sides?

Anyway, I'm glad to hear you won't be forced to send her to the 
boneyard (not yet).
