5.25" drive identification

I have been told (by an IT professional, take that for what it's worth)
that 5.25" 360K drives have the latch handle on the left side of the
drive, and the 1.2M drives have it on the right side. All the drives
I have in view right now, this is true.

Anybody have a notion of whether this is absolutely true in fact?
It sure would make sorting drives easier than trying them out on an
old peecee! (Which actually needs to be done anyways, to test for
functionality.)
