Uppercase or lowercase confusion at the end of the acronyms in Coding Convention

Question

For example; I have a function named that;

int ReadEncoderSpeedRPM_ ( int channel );

I want to divide it into left and right. But short of Revolutions Per Minute at the end, restricts me from that kind of renaming;

int ReadEncoderSpeedRPML_ (void);
int ReadEncoderSpeedRPMR_ (void);

It irritates, other Posible renames;

int ReadEncoderSpeedRPM_L_ (void);
int ReadEncoderSpeedRPMl_  (void);
int ReadEncoderSpeedRPMl_  (void);
int ReadEncoderSpeedRpmL_  (void); // My Favourite but I think I'm losing Acronym...
int ReadEncoderSpeedrpmL_  (void);

Which one (or another one) is most recommended, suggested, and Why?

According to this post, it looks like int ReadEncoderSpeedRpmL_ (void); seems like the right option.

Do you think this question is duplicate or it is a little bit different? I think may be duplicate but I couldn't find that link before. Oh God, This site has an every answer... – Orhan G. Hafif Aug 16 '16 at 12:16

I would prefer a naming like that

int ReadEncoderSpeedRpmLeft (void);
int ReadEncoderSpeedRpmRight (void);

In my opinion it is more readable if you don't use an abbreviation for Left and Right.
