Default Camshaft oil seal toothed belt side replaced. Is this the passenger side?
Camshaft tensioner seal, driver's side?

Default Could be either side.. Both sides have a 'toothed belt' side.
That would be the seal around the cam shaft where it pokes out of the head for the cam gear to attach to it.

Default There are two cam seals on each head for a total of 4...
For each head there is one seal on the front of the engine for the exhaust cam that is driven by timing belt (that would be the toothed belt side). There is also one seal for each intake cam that is connected to the Cam angle sensor. For the 4.2 engine RH head has the sensor in the front (same side as toothed belt) and LH head has the sensor on the back side. If I am not mistaken the 2.7 and 2.8 liter engines have same configuration.
