Look on the top. Being in New Zealand, maybe they installed the rear
end upside down? ;-)

I am not that mechanically challenged....
It was still assembled in the US! They just got the steering on the wrong
(or the right) side. It has its quirks, my 4WD shifter is on the passenger
side, in your case it would be closer to the driver - in my case its away
from me. Opposite is true for the parking/emergency/hand brake. Steering
box skid plates don't fit because the box is on the wrong, as such needs a
mirror image of the skid plate.
Other than that, everything works great.

Re: Binding noise from the rear (TJ '01) - Update
SkidRow Automotive ( skidplates.com ) can do you a RHD one.
FWIW, their control arm skid plates will also fit with a bit of grinding on
the axle bracket.
(I have no connection with them, but have been extremely pleased with their
products, and the
cost of shipping was cheap - 120 bucks for 110lb of metal).
