So when you change from LHD to RHD the shutters actually adjust to prevent dazzling as well as the projectors moving slightly.
The reason for the separate part numbers is simply because they come precoded, since it's not something all consumers are able to do or understand. The lights are physically the same thing.

Maybe pre-LCI have the switch? There's at least one post on E90post that mentions the switch:
