'48 F-1 tie rod ends

[1948F-1Pickup]

Pulled a 416R (right hand thread unit) out of the driver side spindle and a
416L (left hand thread unit) out of the passenger side spindle.
Anyone else's truck like this? I'd have thought I'd find the left-hand
thread on the driver's side and a right-hand thread on the passenger
side.
I know it doesn't make any difference in life's big scheme, I'm just curious.
