The straps on my poles are oriented identically, so that they're both good for my left hand, but not my right. Can they simply be "turned" in their mounts, or did I receive two "left" poles?

The point, Tim, is that if the straps are oriented properly you can put a lot of weight on them for running and steep hiking, but if they're oriented for the wrong hand, the straps get twisted when you try to set them up. As for the question RubiRed, I took a look at a few we have at work here and it doesn't look like you can remove and reverse the straps yourself, so if it's an issue I'd get on Live Chat and tell them the problem and they'll more than likely pay for return shipping on one or both so you can get the right ones.
