Default Speedometer right or left side?

I own a 51 and a 52 F1 which I noticed have the speedometer on different sides. Were they different or did someone flip the speedometer and gauge cluster on one?

I have a '51 F-1 and according to the "Owners Manual" the speedometer is on the right and the instrument cluster is on the left.

Yes, the shop manual shows the 51-52 as having the speedo on the right side.
