BN1 Lower Control Arms

Hello All. I have a BN1 built in March 1954. I bought it as a rolling chassis and took apart the suspension ... and did not note left/right and front/rear locations of the lower control arms. I know, not too smart. They look identical and have slightly different forge markings. All have "1A4763" on one side, and then two of them have "8A37" and "36" on the other side. The other two have "26" and one has "19" on the other side. Photos attached but hard to read at the low resolution. Does anyone know which ones go in front and which in back for each side? Does it matter? Moss does not sell them for BN1 and does discriminate for all other models between front and rear for each side. I don't think there's a mechanical reason to sort it out based on what I have, but would appreciate guidance in case they are in fact different and I have not made the right measurements to see that.
