EA81 conrod trivia

I did say it was trivia
noticed as I stripped a set of rods off a crank, the cast in markings of what I believe was an import engine L B 14. Markings in the 84 build, 85 MY were L 5 51 . Were some marks in the bearings in this one too
All markings face the front of the engine. I've rebuilt two EA81's and can't recall if they went back in same fashion, or whether they are idiot proof and only fit one way ??
