Profile Projection label side

I see there is no OOTB way to add side in a profile projection label unlike other labeling, a Manole for example where you can add offset and side. All I can get is a negative (left) or positive (right) in the source offset

You could make separate text components for each direction an then use expressions(s) to turn them on and off based on the source offset value being > or < zero.

Below I made a L and R component. The R one overlays the L one and has a background mask. An expression provides a text height for the R component as needed.
