You can't give KERNEL device "eth*" the NAME "eth"-something. Won't work.  
Or, at least, won't work reliably.

What does work reliably is giving KERNEL device "eth*" the NAME "other"- 
something.

If one of your ports in a WAN port, and the other one is a LAN port, why  
don't you name them wan0 and lan0? The rules that I have:

… KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="wan0"

and

… KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="lan0"

That worked just as well for my purposes, and actually makes more sense.
