When I first joined a Model A club about 35years ago, one of the first club seminars I attended was assembling the rear backing plates. For about 20 minutes they argued over which was the left and right E-brake spring. When they finally agreed they installed them and had them on reversed.
I recall that the one of suppliers of the era provided then painted red and green (port & starboard).
Once you get them installed the simple test is to actuate the arm and see which way they actuate. You want them to release the brake when the spring pulls it back.
