You'll soon find out when you try to put them on. Because one (the right one) will have the normal RH thread, the other (left) a LH thread. If they were both righty-tighty, the left pedal would unscrew itself as your were riding along!
Otherwise, as with most things vehicle related, right and left are from the perspective of the rider/driver/captain.
