Well I think that you're right and that the entire assemblies are reversed. The dust plate cutouts for the tie rods are "properly" located in that they allow for the tie rod. I should have mentioned that the trunnions are new, in place and correctly turned back for free movement. That being the case, it seems to me that the only distinction is that the trunnion's movements (up and down) are really the only things that's actually "reversed", so that instead of the left going up as the wheel turns in one direction it would go down . And that I believe is the only "directional" aspect to the whole assembly. But I no longer assume.
It just occurred to me that I rebuilt one side at a time and did not mix up any parts, so it was already backwards apparently before I started. The trunnions were not marked as they are today, so the PO may have done the same thing and didn't realize it.

Edit Reason: remembered one side at a time change over
