Default CCX Trunk & Hood Hinges

Hi all,
I'm hanging my trunk lid and hood at the moment.
The hinges are twisting my mellon man!
The four hinges are marked FL, FR, BL and BR.
I had assumed Front Left, Front Right etc.
But that doesn't seem to work out.
Are the two marked with a B biased slightly?
Can anyone tell me which hinge goes in which positioin to get the correct swing arc?
Please help before I pull the little hair I have left.

I think I've sorted it out.
I came to the conclusion that the hinges are all the same but the problem was that the body brackets themselves were a little twisted.
With a little tweak the swing arc was fixed.
