Is there some way we could change the internals so that it runs the opposite way?

No.id rather find the correct one than mess around teying to swap stuff around.

Sorry mate I have a new Type 3 one,a couple of used type 3 and a couple of 60's 3 bolt beetle units that the cable pulls from the right,theoretically I should have a couple of S bug ones but they are being elusive. You might try vintage as they are sure to have one.
