Not if they are the same as what's on my 56 but when looking at them from the end there is a short side and they face each other over the hump in the frame at the axle, the boxed looking one is the rear

On F-1's the center two are identical and installed facing opposite ways as John says. The front one on a '52 is real different and should be obvious.
