You are correct. Since the sensors are interchangeable, a replacement sensor is not labeled. But it's not a big deal. If you replace them (or simply unplug them) and plug them in incorrectly? The car won't start and no damage is done. Switch the plugs and it should then start.

Great description and picture, Ian. I would also add that it is important to keep the wires routed without sharp bends. The heat from the exhaust system is more likely to cook the sheathing than the intake manifold- which incidentally stays cool or only mildly hot to the touch (only on hot days or track days). So i'd recommend rotating the clamp holding the wires to widen the bend in the black sensor wires?
