Alot of pits on trailers you will see this. Especially if they are doubled up one hast to be left to right and other right to left

My understanding for that is on a trailer model you would want the cook chamber facing the curb so if you had to park on a street and cook you wouldn't be standing in the road operating the cooker. As far as patio cookers I suppose it was just preference. My old New Braunfels had a left firebox and right exhaust.

My New Braunfels has the fire box on the left side. The one I had before this one was left side also. Where mine sits it keeps any body walkin by (grandkids) on the CC side.

I had an original Brinkmann Cimarron offset that was setup that way.
My OCD just won't allow that.... firebox has to be on the right side.

My Big Phil's offset is configured this way.

Big Phil will build them either way upon request - if you are having a pit built, always discuss with pit builder so you won’t be surprised

I guess it would depend on which side of the street you were parked on......I see plenty of Shirley trailer models with the cook chamber doors opening just like yours which, if viewed from the Rear of the Trailer, would open to the Left Side and that would always be "in the street" regardless of which direction you were headed.
Guess it's always best to get to a parking lot or an open field to cook your Q.
I thought you were supposed to point your smoker toward Austin.

Left-handed smokers just look wrong to me. My guess is that offsets were designed with the firebox to the right of the cook chamber because most folks are right-handed. You's grab your next stick with your right hand.
As a general rule, I wouldn't want to cook curbside unless I absolutely had to. I want a flat, level spot to cook (I actually have magnetic levels stuck to my trailer to check). I would expect curbside to be at an angle to allow drainage.

I believe if they were to open the smoke chamber door, these reverse models actually are correcting the reverse flow inside, and in so doing, they reverse the reverse and properly align the magnetic poles in the smoke, again.
Ouch, I hurt myself with that thinking.
Maybe they were designed this way in case someone has a limp wristed cooking style, similar to Lamar Latrell's javelin design

LSG did it for no charge for me. I had patio slope down to the right so I needed grease drain on the right
