Rear wheel bearings question

I looked on the schematic for the rear wheel for my '81 GS1100EX and there are three bearings listed...one in the sprocket carrier and two in the actual wheel. The Suzuki schematic shows two different part numbers for these two in the wheel but when I look on my bike I find both bearings are the same.

Now it gets really weird: I look on the Ron Ayers website and type in the two part numbers and find that they are the exact same description BUT the price is different.

The part numbers are 08133-62047 (RH bearing) and 08153-62047 (LH bearing - this part number has been changed to 09262-20042). The RH bearing cost $13.04 and the LH bearing cost $11.04.

Can anyone tell me what the difference between the two bearings would be - if there is one?

It could be a difference between dust shields and grease seals.

I agree its probably only dust seals....don`t buy them from suzuki get them at a bearings source....probably be amazed how cheap they are
 
I replaced the bearings (for the 550L) on my front and back wheels over the winter, and I bought them from a Suzuki dealer. The left and right bearings on the front wheel are identical. On the rear wheel the left bearing has a metal grease/dust seal that bears against the drum retainer/bearing holder.
