To the best of my knowledge, which eye he lost is never specified in the archaic written sources.  I could be wrong, of course -- I haven't read the entire corpus of Norse literature, and it's also possible I did read it, but don't remember.  But I think later authors and artists simply chose whichever eye seemed right to them.

Subject: [norse_course] Eye of Odin

Hi all, just wondering if anyone on the list could enlighten me as to
the source/s that refer to Odin's missing eye and if they actually
state which eye he kept and which eye was missing.

I've come across various authors who seem to differ in oppinion to each
other which was actually missing and it would be good to clarify this.
Any help much appreciated.

Thanks,
Victor.
