I bought the aftermarket paddles a few years ago. It was cheaper and was softer and more flexible, even with the reinforced cords in the middle. I think it may be from the same stock of rubber that Toro paddles are made of. The Honda OEM paddles of course was more expensive, but quite stiffer without the cords. They do last longer, the performance was better, especially in slushy condition.
Changing the paddles were a PITA. There were too many fasteners. You need a ratchet/socket on one side, a large flat screwdriver on the other side. I also don't recall seeing any symbols on the paddles.
Like an O or something similar to that.Also the same symbol on nuts and bolts.I will take a picture of it.
Have you seen this big a snow blower before? I have not, but the video is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxtCntPsOGE&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fA02SAlOeJU&feature=related

The paddles have an "R" and an "L" stamped into them to denote which side they are to be installed. The middle paddles do not have anything on them except some sort of of alpha/numeric code. It's amazing to see how much wear was on the old ones after installing the new paddles - there's barely any gap between the paddle and the bucket. I compared the new and old paddles by placing one on top of the other and the difference in width was substantial - overall about 1/2". Should produce a huge difference in the throwing ability and overall peformance. Once again, I wait for a storm to try out my new to me toy!!!!
