Just an educated guess (I don't have a Jimny), but I'd imagine the bleed nipples are at opposite ends between LH and RH. The nipples obviously always need to be in the uppermost portion of the caliper.

Calipers sit at the top of the disc not at the front and back like most cars

Thay willl fit if im right in thinking the pipe can fit both ways on the caliper

Yep the Banjo connector has two grooves to choose from thus making it possible to fit either side.

Its only the rear cylinders that are side specific.
