It's not direction of rotation that matters, it's direction of torque.
Your left half-axle will always have a clockwise torque on acceleration,
and your right will always have counter-clockwise, regardless of which end
is toward the tranny.  The purpose of swapping the axles left to right is
so that they spend a part of their life being torqued in the opposite
direction, thereby wearing the opposing face of CVs.
