Yes, when Chrysler lists a pair of numbers for left/right, such as 2584 524-5, the "4" is right and the "5" is left. However, it was not until the early 1960's that Chrysler began standardizing parts in pairs as even-right and odd-left. It seems by 1964 parts became even-right and odd-left across the board. Prior to that, it was pretty much anything goes. For example, in 1962, the tailgate half of the tailgate hinge on a Plymouth or Dodge was 2251 302 right and 2251 300 left. A quarter window lift mechanism for a 1962 Imperial is listed as 1604 889 right and 1604 890 left.
