That's a function of the shifter not the transmission.
The rev rod can be hooked to either the LH or RH paddle of the three. If the paddles are setup for Rev on the Left it'll be on the Left. Stock A833OD reverse lever should be the RH paddle putting Reverse on the Left side of the pattern.
Up or Down could be controlled by attaching the slotted chunk of steel rotating lever to the reverse fork stub with the relay rod above or below the fork. Stock should be above meaning you push the shifter up or forward.
This is not a Ford T10 or Saginaw 4 speed. Reverse is Left & down on those.
Muncie and some GM T10 transmissions have the same pattern as the A833 & A833OD.
Get the right knob or dash decal and drive it. I have seven manual transmission road vehicles and two farm tractors they are almost all different in some minor way.
Shift pattern on the A833OD is a standard H pattern 4 speed... Left and Up Rev, 1 Up, 2 down, Right & Up 3, Right & down 4.
