Default Are the 1st gen. radiator fans the same left & right ?

I need to k now if the left and right fan assemblies are the same , i need to replace the radiator on my CR-V but the previous owner used a universal style of fan assembly that pierces through the radiator and i dont want to do that , i want to replace it correctly .

I found a left side radiator fan but i cannot find the right , i am assuming they are both the same but i have not found any info on it . \


Thanks !

Just replaced my radiator this weekend The mounting points on the fans are not the same. Driver side has two bolt's that line up ontop and a stop at the bottom passenger side has two bolt's on top also but they sit flush with the radiator and not flat ontop like driver side and also has two more bolt's at the bottom. You can rig it im sure of it but prob wouldn't look clean.

I could be wrong but I am pretty sure the electrical connections are different as well. Either way the mounting brackets are different for sure.
