ok i got my brackets and went to put them on the d-44, parts guy said they came off the same rearend, right side caliper is on the forward side of the rotor and the left (driver) side caliper is on the rearward side of the rotor, this has to be right since the brackets came off the same axle but it just doesn't seem right to me, is this the way it should be?

Yes this is correct.
Some people when they put the backing plates on grind more off of one side (i can't remember which at the momment) so that both point the same direction.
There are some pictures out on the web of both setups if you look, i just don't have any links at hand to share ATM.

I'd watch out for changing the passanger side so that it matches the drivers side. I don't remember, but check and make sure that the bleeder valve will still be on top or you'll have a hell of a time getting the air out of the caliper. It'll work just fine with them on opposide sides of the axle tube though, so why mess with it?
