Backwards Bearings

I'm going to try to make this a quick post and so to make a long story short my left front bearings might be trashed and my friends brought me to the junkyard today and I grabbed some bearings while I was there but I mistakenly got them off the right side of another T4R. So the question is does putting bearings that were on the right side on the left side bad? I know it seems a little stupid to ask but I just want to make sure I'm not hurting anything. I'm hoping I don't have to replace the old ones but I won't know til I clean them, repack them, and test them out. Any insight would be helpful

Two wheel bearings per front spindle, an inner and outer. The inner and outer wheel bearings will not swap, they're different sizes (the inner is smaller, if memory serves). They're both identical from drivers side to passenger side though, no difference between the outers on each side and no difference between the inners. Clearer?

Oh yeah I already knew that. I though you were saying left and right look the same on the outside of the bearing but are different on the inside. That's why I was confused. The outer is actually the smaller one and is more cone shaped. Inner is bigger and more cylindrical
