OOOOOOOps I reread your question. I thought you said "is there an inside and an outside CV joint to which the answer is no. There is an inside and and outside to each joint, though I am not sure that everyone obeys putting them back together that way. I forgot what the clue was on my 90 as it came from the factory, but on the aftermarket german joints on my westy, the clue is a groove machined about 5 mm from the edge on the transmission flange side. On most (but not all) you can figure it out by looking at the mating surfaces on the hub. The side that's completely flat goes toward the flange, the side with a little build-up goes over the axle. If that's not right, at least it's consistent, and mine have been doing well for over 100K miles.
