Just checked three of my cylinder heads, but all have I or E markings. Typically, left or right on an engine is based on as if you were sitting on the engine facing the timing belt (front) end. I would confirm this with your parts as the first response indicated.

Also, if you put the cams in with the caps tightened down (no rockers...) you should be able to turn the cams with little effort as another verification.
 
I have one sitting here and yes if you were sitting on the head facing the timing gears then left is your left and right is your right.
 
Here's a few pictures of my cam caps when I did my valve cover.
If you have a good computer screen you should be able to read most of them


The pictures were taken with the engine in the car so timing belt on the right and the transmission on the left

Did you not take a picture before you removed them? And yeah they have a lot of different numbers going on there ,
I can see your cause for concern
