about the rotation direction of dana axle

[Busa20]

our company bought two dana axle, but I find the rotation direction of axle is different from the Conventional vehicle axle.
I attached a drawing and you can find the position of final reduction gear is not like Conventional vehicle axle's.
anybody has this experience?

What is your definition of "conventional" axle? What type of final reduction is your frame of reference?

but dana axle is On the contrary.
