Same part of both sides... I wouldn't put it past Ford; They've done some crap like that before. For example the last generation T-bird had a nicely designed uni-directional vented disc... But they only had one of them... So one was on backwards... Nice eh?
But in this case, a lot of other parts would have to be changed in order to use the same caliper on each side, and since the calipers are farmed out anyway I don't think that is the reason.

Does caliper placement affects the way the brake system react or change the vehicule dynamics under braking?

Actually it doesn't. The placement of the weight of the caliper can make a difference, but in a 3 ton truck with a huge (HUGE) rear axle and differential I don't see it making that much difference. My bud, who is a mechanical engineer and a huge Ford Truck fan will surely have some insights into this. I'll see what he has to say on the subject.
