I am getting my rear struts on Lexus replaced by my mechanic and they are pulled out and apparently he mixed up the mounts.
There are 2 colors PURPLE and ORANGE on each mount, could someone let me know which one is the RR and RL mounts.
The mounts go into the holes either way and that threw me off (bought the boot from rockauto which came with a mount and told installer to reinstall with original mounts, he forgot and then didn't know which went which side)

There's not part numbers on them? LR mount is 48760B and RR mount is 48750H.

The OE parts should just be black, no color. So they must be aftermarket.
 
The after market boot came with a universal mount which I don't want on my car.
The OEM ones have a color code on them and not sure which is left and right and nothing is stamped on the strut mount
That color code/dot also helps you index them on certain models

On my Camry, it'll fit 3 different ways, but you'll mess up camber real bad if you don't index the top right

On mine, colored dot faced in towards the engine
