Uh these both are R's definately. I have only seen this 2 other times and they were both Mazda rebuilds I had to put in straight from the dealer...

My other 12'A and 2 13B's fully disassmbled dont bear any markings on top bottom side or otherwise?

Mine has those R's in them to but I know mine has been rebuilt, unless they put black silicone in between the housings from the factory.

The R is for REAR housing. You might even get lucky enough to find a rebuild with an F on the front housing! The only difference between housings is the routing of the EGR ports; otherwise, they are interchangeable. There is no major consequence to swapping housings to the other position, or using two of the same.
