The dilemma, indeed.  From the point of view of an outside observer it would 
all work out in the wash.  At the end of the day the wheel boxes can be 
installed in either position and the parking location adjusted to suit either 
RHD or 
LHD applications.

There may, however, be other considerations such as do the tubes foul with 
something under the dash in one position or the other.

One could install one wheel box one way, the other one the other way and have 
wipers that work in mirror image patterns the way some old American cars did.
