Aluminium Pedals - e53 RHD / LHD help!!

I'm currently looking to buy aluminium pedals from ebay and I'm a little confused. From all the reading I've been doing, pretty much all BMW aluminium accelerator and brake pedals are the same (RHD or LHD). The footrests vary, but according to realoem, the E70 and e53 share the same footrest/dead pedal.

Looking at pedal kits on Ebay, pretty much all say they're only for LHD. Is this right.. Because the pedals themselves look exactly the same as the RHD versions?

This is the kit I'm currently looking at
BMW M E30 E36 E34 Z3 X5 X3 Z3 Aluminum AT Pedal PAD Auto Pedals Foot Rest | eBay

I'd prefer this one at half the price, but the dead pedal looks a little curved at the bottom?
NEW Chrome AT M Tech Foot Rest Aluminum Pedal FOR BMW M3 E39 E46 E82 E87 E90 E91 | eBay

If the accelerator and brake are all the same, I'm sure I could make the dead pedal work. No one will see the curve in a RHD car.

Thoughts and suggestions?

Ricky Bobby will become famous soon enough
The gas and brake are same on RHD and LHD, the dead pedal (recangle) in the first set will look a bit better due to the shape of the E53 factory pedal, but like you said, you can prob make the curved one work.
