You are right. I recently ordered a pair of front calipers for a 1970 BMW 1600 from O'Reily because they were the only ones who could get both right and left. After waiting for Autozone to produce the other side for over a month, O'Reilly got both in one day. And, of course, they were exactly the same rebuilder as the one from Autozone. Same part numbers, box, etc.
I'm just happy to get one. I may just order a new one from BMW and keep it. Could take as long as 3-weeks though, so I'll spend the small change that O'Reilly's wants for the rebuilt and see how it goes.
