Question Pilot Sport PS2 Tire - left vs right

A little help here guys...
I pulled my summer tires out of storage last weekend, and found that there was no marking telling me which corner of the car they came from when they were removed. The dealer either didn't do it, or it got wiped off in transit to storage.

I have a staggered setup so I obviously know front from back, but i don't know left from right?? Is there anyway to tell from the tread which tire belongs on the left and which on the right. From what i'm told these are not directional tires, so there is no 'arrow'.

I've only had one season on them. Will it matter if they get put on the wrong sides?

The sidewall should have a marking saying "outside" or something along those lines.

Indeed, and that means that they work on both left and right side.
