Seat Belt Receiver Length?

I ripped the carpet out of my Camaro, and I went to reinstall the driver side seat belt receiver so I can drive it if need be, and I realized that one of the receivers I have is longer than the other. I did an exhausted search on the forums, and couldn't find anything.

Which one is driver, and which is passenger?

On my 91 RS the shorter one is on the passenger side. They are hard to find, now. Most suppliers sell just the longer one, it will work, apparently.

The driver's is longer because the driver seat is usually further back

Fat-bottomed drivers?

The ones on our 92 B4C are both the shorter ones, so go figure. The car has had a short racing career after retirement from TxDPS, but the belts looked OEM. I wonder who got our longer one??
