One shock is valved for compression, the other for expansion. As I recall.

It is increasingly common for suspension designers to divide the two roles of the damper, especially in front forks. What we are seeing is Harley jumping on the bandwagon, if a bit late. Who knows, before too long we may get truly sublime suspension as standard!

If I recall correctly, the right shock looks like it is on upside down. The writing on the sticker should be right-side up.

Didn't care much for the old premium adjustables. In fact, I was doing a shop cleanup yesterday and tossed a pair of 13" in the dumpster.

I do hear the newer ones are much improved though.
