You are correct Jimmy, the holes are there to be universal and as has been mentioned you may chose to run them in front or rear positions to straighten your camber links up on the car but i think there is another question be asked which is how does a long v short camber link position on the hub effect the car?
Shorter link will have more camber gain through compression of the suspension so this will give you more traction but will reach a point where the car then brakes away into a slide at this point the traction is lost very quickly and hard to recover with out spinning out. I shorter link will also be better through the bumps and has more chassis body roll
Longer link will have less camber gain through compression of the suspension so this will give less rear traction but the benefit is when the car slides it slides gradually and therefor is easier to catch, longer links make the car stiffer on chassis body roll so hence will not feel as good through the bumps.
Now last bit is the hole in the hub will also have an effect on the way the car enters the turn, i can't remeber which way but it will either enter the turn harder or not so guess i need to do some work to clarify that one
