是的，老外爷爷外公／奶奶外婆／叔叔舅舅／阿姨婶婶姑姑不分的，可能就分性别。

you can differentiate them by specifying "granpy from my side", i guess....

Pre-fix with "outer-" would be fine.

There is no way to address ur grandparents literally in everyday conversation. But...you can distinguish them by some adjectives, such as 'maternal grandmother'=mother's mother and 'paternal grandfather'= father's father. Hope that will help a little bit.
