Yes, the desired starter armature rotation direction depends on which side of the engine block the starter is intended to be mounted on, iirc [its been a while!] 2 litre I4 Cortina/Transit automatic transmission vs manual transmission starters used to catch people out.
If anyone wants to experiment with reversing rotation its easiest done with a face commutator starter like a Lucas M35J, the local go-kart guys used to turn the brush holder end plate 90 deg on them to make them into wheel drive starter trolleys for their karts.
