The bottom cushions are interchangable.  I forget
about the backs, but think they might have slight
differences at the bottom.  I seem to remember that
you can dissasemble them down to the point where the
hardware can be swapped to another seat.

Based on the comments below, maybe the go on the
passemger side to raise the seat and avoid the
interference between the bar and bolt.

I purchased my spider with a stripped interior, and
never say those washers.  If you find out definitively
where they go, please let me know.
