IF memory serves me correctly....IT Is possible to put a "left" head on the "right" side BUT IT is NOT the best thing to do!!! You really need to get the 6049 head for the right side!!! There is a "reason" they are marked so!!!! Shouldn't be too difficult to ferret one out here on the barn!!! ALSO good advice is to "double check" and put some kind of marker on each head as to left and right (a strip of masking tape or a piece of paper rolled into the spark plug hole) before installation to "Make sure" you get each head on the "correct" side
As for both of the 6050's that is correct as the only thing in the left head is the second temperature probe!!!!
