Hello Brandon,
Must be a Packard!!
They use "A" anb "B" as opposed to left and right. The "A" side would be the right side as viewed from behind the engine as you already guessed.
For now I'll stick with the Packard 224. An original chart from Rolls-Royce just sold on e-Bay identifying all of the various Merlin and Griffon variants and I forgot about it and didn't bid!!!
