caliper question

I just had to replace my 300zx brake caliiper, and the auto parts store gave me the wrong one and wont have another one in a few weeks. As they need to be rebuilt. They gave me the PASSENGER SIDE caliper rather than the driver side. Other than the word "NISSAN" reading different than the passenger side (it scrolls up rather than going down) and the bleeder valve location (its on the bottom rather than top of the caliiper) can I use it anyway?? Does the bleeder valve location HAVE to be up top?

I can't tell you but I would not run a caliper the wrong direction to be safe.

its a steel braided screw fitting type , theres no banjo with the zx caliper, thats in the middle on both calipers.
I'll take the caliper back and wait another month... apparently parts america takes forever to get me a 300zx caliper, this is the 2nd time they gave me the wrong one... they insist its the right part number. but when on the car its wrong. (the caliper is identical to the passenger side) they still say it would work.
