Very curious. Easy for an amateur or even "mechanic" to reverse the bearings but tendency is to drop out of mesh not wedge in.
Seems to have broken from drive side so not triggered by brutal tow start. Cars survive mechanical disasters which lock wheels.
is it an Austin cw or some overhardened aftermarket brand? Failed gears in other makes often show fatigue cracks part way through.
