Brian,
Not sure that's correct, but what would I know?
Learned to drive on a FB Holden then drove for many years on a EH Holden, both of which had the gear selector lever on the left side of the column with the turn signals on the right side. My '50 Packard is the same. Same with the '48 Chassis, the gear selector is on the left side of the column.
I know I had trouble driving in the US when, instead of the turn signals, I turned on the wipers by mistake seeing they were on the other side to what I was used to.

It was conventional at the time to have it on the right (on locally built cars), so the turn signal stalk was always on the left. I can't remember seeing any the other way around. Today, Australian built cars generally have the turn signal on the right - European cars on the left
