We have the fake shutters here: there was only one way to mount them on the house -- as someone else mentioned, the wrong side is very obvious! An no, if the shutters were to be hinged they would not cover the windows. They're there for decoration only; on this house not having them makes the exterior look boring!
BTW, there are at least two types of vinyl shutters: paintable and not. Non-paintable shutters will not take the paint, or at least latex paint: after it dries it peels right off!
