What differences are there on these LH and RH Marklin manual turnouts?

Part numbers 8561 & 8564
Part numbers 8565 & 8566

Both pairs appear to be identical.

Thanks.

Unfortunately my 1994/5 catalog didn't have part numbers 8561 and 8564 but a little research came up with the following:

8561 - one pair of remote turnouts, one L and one R
8562 - one Left remote turnout
8563 - one Right remote turnout
8564 - two pairs of manual turnouts, two L and two R
8565 - one Left manual turnout
8566 - one Right manual turnout

To figure out 8561 and 8564, I found ebay listings with pictures of the turnouts and original packages so I think that I've got them right.

Correct, early on Marklin offered the turnouts in two-packs. Today these are only offered as singles. Besides the age of the turnout, there should not be too many differences between the circa 1970s two packs and today's singles.
