Fitting brake back plates

[minorissues135]

Hi, in moving hubs over to the new axle case, I misunderstood the stupid r/h or l/h labelling system rather than o/s and n/s. Tried to find out before fitting but just could not find out what they meant, e.g. looking forward or backward. So as my drain holes don't line up, do I have to take them off again and swap, or could I get away with it as is? aaargh....

Update, so my official Morris Minor workshop manual calls the rear offside, the 'RH' or Right Hand, and the rear nearside the 'L/H or Left hand.

Double doh!!....So despite my thinking the drain holes don't match up, on checking, they actually seem to as I can see bright metal through the small hole...phew! So damn confusing with the axle out of the car in terms of front/back/offside/nearside/right hand/left hand

The offside has always been the right hand side as sitting in the drivers seat and nearside the left hand side again looking forward.
I like one of the Americans who calls the drivers side the captains and the passenger side the drinkers
