Two Right Axels?

Was replacing the steering arms on my 1955 International 100 (Industrial) when I noticed the grease nipple on the left side was broken off and that it was facing forward, not rearward like the right side. Do I have mismatched axles, i.e., 2 LH or 2 RH?
 
Probably not. They could be the same, or based on the same foundation part. Jigs and fixtures are likely used to drill the fitting holes. If
it looks like a mirror image, and if the steering stops are correct It is fine. Jim
 
The 'knees' are the same. no right,no left. they were fit either side. as Jim says,they were made in a jig. the same interchangeable part cuts manufactureing costs. Common practice in farm machine construction/manufacture.
 
Can't comment about how Louisville did things in 1955, but suspect it was the same there as Farmall did
frt axle extensions in 1976 when I started there. The two pieces of steel tubing were cut, chamfered, and
drilled, all while in a fixture, then both pieces were placed in a welding fixture and became one piece,
then the inside of the outer down piece was bored and bronze bushings pressed in, the zerk tapped into
the hole, then I washed them to remove cutting oils and they were assembled to the wide front axle with
tierod, steering arms, etc, then installed on the tractor.
