Sort of, Jim! The early 'gate'-change gearbox had first and reverse on the right; I believe the reversed layout came with the introduction of the 'ball'-change in October 1929, but then the layout reverted to the earlier pattern in July 1930 and remained until the end of the 3-speed gearbox in 1932. But as you point out, the tops are interchangeable.
