Not reversed anywhere ... that's normal operation !

As I said before, British switches operate the opposite of what Americans expect
: up is off.

If you want to change it (to be wrong, as a DPO did on TS39781LO), then you'll
need to disassemble the switch and either move one of the wires to the opposite
contact (inside the switch body), or just reassemble it upside down.
