Valve cover gasket PNs?

I started to do my valve cover gaskets last night and by chance started on the RHS. I have both 119-010-13-30 (LHS) and -14-30 (RHS), but both have the exact same gasket on the inside, 119 016 0821 (marked 'RA') in addition to the four spark plug covers. The FSM says -13-30 should have a different PN with 'LA' marked on it. Anyone else have this issue? I think I got sent the incorrect part and got lucky on which side I started with.
 
Never had that happen personally, but it's good you found it early! Have the dealer check the next one before they send it, assuming you aren't buying local.

:tumble:
 
Yeah, I got lucky in that they sent me duplicates of the side I decided to work on first. I goofed on the install though and didn't get the rear to properly seat (despite my best attempts with a mirror and feeling around the corners) so will need to try again today.
 
I had the same issue a few years ago with the original Mercedes-Benz valve cover gaskets (left and right) but never reported it to the dealership. They are just laying in my garege.
