I have a pair of the same model and size monitors at home, as I have in the office. They're all named "Company Model (1)" and "Company Model (2)".
It seems like the setup I have at home has them physically arranged from L -> R: 1 -> 2, but in the office, however, it's 2 -> 1.
The result is when I work from home, or work from the office, I need to constantly set the Display Arrangement in Preferences.
Is there a way to delete the displays, so I can reintroduce them to the computer in the right order, or just rename them so the one physically on the left is always 1, and the one on the right is always 2?

It turns out it's the dongle with which the monitors are connected. I have two different brands (Satechi and Anker) at home, and (Apple and Anker) at work. When I plug the monitors into the different dongles, it changes orientation. The reason the physical swap didn't work, was because I also unplugged the cables from the monitors in the office, and reconnected them to the different dongles. I tried unplugging the monitors from the dongles at home and swapping them, and and they indeed switched.
This is probably the most trivial of information, but it's at least answered!
