If the passenger side is slightly more convex (you know... "objects in mirror may be closer than they appear"), then it would make sense that the RHD and LHD models are different. The mirrors aren't symmetrical across the horizontal plane, so they can't be reversed.

Even if they were on the same plane, you can't flip it upside down & have it look presentable. They are cut differently. Just look at your car & try to mentally put the driver side on the passenger side. It just doesn't work

Just to chime in, i have the Zoom mirrors and love them
 They dont eliminate my blind spots but they do significantly reduce them.

Nope. ...what they came with was perfect. Just take your time during install.
