They may have stencilled it with a "FRONT" marking just to be consistent with all the other set carriers which were definitely "handed" for the supply unit mounting, etc.

Hi Chris,
This picture of a No.22 Carrier does not look symmetrical, the angle bracket looks to be closer to the end on the right. So there looks to be good reason for it to be marked Front.
