Perhaps someone can confirm, but from memory a RHD worm has a left hand helix and a LHD worm has a right hand helix.

If you imagine the helix like a very coarse thread you might be able to envisage what I am trying to say.

The pitman shafts have the roller set at an angle so they engage the worm correctly. The angles are opposite for each hand of drive of the box.
