Mark,
Now that I've corrected myself, you don't have it right either.

Swapping end-for-end is the only thing that reverses the direction of
rotation of the axles. Swapping side-for-side is optional, as it does
not change rotation.

Do the "roll up the paper" demonstration for yourself and you'll see.
