Default Fork tubes, CBR1000FH. Identical on both sides?

Does anyone know if the fork tubes are interchangeable from right to left in the sliders on a CBR1000FH?
My bike is due its MOT test over here in the UK, one fork has taken a whack and the right side is puking oil out, and the set I just bought on Ebay has been misdescribed, so only the left side is any good. I can't dismantle them if I'm going to have to send them back, but I need the bike back on the road quickly so no time to mess around returning and finding another set.

It's the model with antidive on one fork, hence wanting to know.

Cheers

All the bikes I've owned have always had identical fork sliders, in fact I have two BMW ones in my gagage at the moment that I use as drifts! I'm 99% certain that they are interchangeable, but the best way is to simply compare them carefully to see if there are ANY differences. I feel confident they should be, but check yourself first. The antidive is probably part of the fork leg lower on that particular side.
