I took a second look and I noticed something that *might* be 124 specific - there is a slight curve in both directions on the badge. It's fairly small, maybe a little less than 1mm on the center vs. the edges. If the 500 badge has any slight curve to it as well I'd bet it would fit fine, since the adhesive backing will form itself to the surface anyways.
LH/RH specific 124 Abarth side badge P/Ns
TL;DR: There are 124-specific left & right part numbers for the Abarth side badges, there doesn't seem to be a difference either side or from the 500 badges.
I ordered the Abarth side badges from a UK parts dealer - they listed separate part numbers for the right hand side and left hand side. The PN that some other retailers list seem to be the one from the 500 Abarth, so I figured I'd check these out to see if there was actually a difference. I thought that maybe they were mirrored so that the graphics pointed forward on both sides, or some other detail I couldn't see from the EU press photos. They really do have different PNs and packaging, but side by side I can't see any difference - they don't appear to be mirrored, or curved differently. Seems to me that anyone wanting to put these badges on can ignore the part numbers and get the badges no matter which PN or if they're listed for the 500 or 124.
on the pictures, the badge with the red backing is LH

Today I installed proper Abarth fender badges. First step in acquiring the European look!
I had bought (and returned) a cheap Chinese-made pair (picture attached of pair where the concave surface of the colored filler can be seen). Terrible - no curvature on body of badge and with 3M tape (or whatever it was) all the way to the edges so the tape would have been visible all round. Not good.
The ones I went with are the metallic ones which match the look of the installed Abarth hood and trunk emblems - part #'s 6834 8940 AA and 6834 9018 AA. RH and LH with the proper moulded-to-body curvature. FYI: they sit 66 millimeters (just shy of 2 5/8") above the side light as verified by overseas owners.
The USA price for these is around $55 each - madness. The UK price is $40 with $2.50 shipping each.
