Ron, I believe that the RHD cars had a downdraft carburetor. I don't think the updraft will clear the steering column. Also had a fuel pump on the side of the engine.

I can't believe that you found a right hand drive picture of an already rare car.  Could be Ron's project?

As Ron mentioned, it was originally sold to someone in Java and they returned it to the factory for modification after the war.
