It may just be an oversight, or a space consideration. Looks more like an oversight; I'd say those gearboxes could go in either way, as long as the chain worked.
But it isn't to reverse the direction of the wheels without programming. He'd have one gearbox out over the bumper area with both pointing the same direction if that was the goal.
