You need different page styles for right and left pages, such as are 
already provided in the default set of page styles. The predefined ones 
alternate automatically. Only the first occurrence of a right page has 
to be set as paragraph property on the first paragraph of that page. 
There you can set the starting page number as well.

Then you have automatically different headers and footers for right and 
left pages, so it is no problem to put different fields in the headers.

How to handle the first page depends on whether there are pages between 
the front matter and the body text, for example for a table of content.

Kind regards,
Regina
