I bought some shinkansen tickets with non-reserved seating. I have become used to the tickets with reserved seating because they tell you what train you are supposed to be on. However, the ones with non-reserved seating have no assigned train

NOTE: I do not have a JR Rail Pass as I am a CIR in the JET Program. So I bought these tickets online.

Even though it may be silly, my question is this: does this mean I can ride on any shinkansen as long as it has non-reserved seats? I know that Hayate in the Tohoku region is all reserved seating so that choice is out.

I don"t mind standing room only. I just don't want to get on the wrong train by mistake.

Thanks in advance for whatever light anyone can shed.

you can't sit in the green car, there are just some cars that you can sit in.
I think it is the first two cars, and then near the back.
