Default WTF is with these head gaskets?

I ordered a set of Fel-pro head gaskets from Summit, and I made sure to state to the guy on the phone to send me a L and R side head gasket.. I just got them and they are both the left side head gasket. I called o'Riellys, and they gave me the same BS.. What the hell do i do now? Can I put the right side one on backwards and get away with it or....??

Well, the problem is the block has the larger coolant passages at the back of the block. the left side head has the holes for these passages, but not the right side, on the right side head gasket, the big holes would be on the front. The gaskets are both labeled "front", but on the same sides..

Interesting, maybe someone that has used Fel-Pro's will chime in..
