The one on the right looks like the filter that Toyo Roki used to manufacture for Honda motorcycles, that was made in Japan.... with the tightly folded pleats and the hot glue looking end caps

Now it is completely different and made by "WAFTEC" in China.
 
I think the filter on the right is the OEM Toyota (04152-YZZA1) by looking at the waffle like pleats' texture and also the clear and thinner glue/silicone. The pleats are uniform and closer to one another compared to the other filter. Overall, it looks better constructed than the left one.

Definitely on the right. The “fuzz” texture on the media suggests it might be higher efficiency even as the higher pleat count suggests more media area. Also, the thin PET-resembling endcaps are IMO superior to the milky looking plastic (presumable HDPE?)

Thanks for the pics. I'm wondering if these are Mobil 1 filters since Highline Warren is a distributor for them?

Are there any markings or print on the filter itself?
