Front Wheel - Which Side Does The Brake Drum Go?

Both me and my mate have an ossa mar. Yesterday we had them side by side and we noticed that my bike has the brake on the left, and his is on the right? Which is correct?

When googling images of ossa's we have found both?

Correct fitting is on the right (sitting on the bike)

 

Some people reverse the forks and wheel as when the hub gets worn the brake works better with the wheel rotating the other way round (allegedly - not tried it myself)

I spoke to the guy at Inmotion today, and he looked at some part diagrams, and he said that it seems that early bikes had it on the right, then it moved to the left, and then later on it moved back to the right!?
