You're right, front calipers WILL fit on the opposite sides.

I once installed a left caliper on the right side 'cause that was the only decent used caliper I had on a Sunday afternoon -- and work beckoned early Monday morning.

However, I figured out how to fill 'n "pre-bleed" the caliper before installing it, so it made no difference. The brakes were rock hard, worked fine, and I drove that car for 6-7 years with an upside-down caliper.
