Look at the back of your fuse panel on your 85 van. The output of fuse S1 has 2 male spades. Each gets a grey/black wire plugged into it, one for the left running light, the other for the left tail light. The output of fuse S2 has 2 male spades. Each gets a grey/red wire plugged into it, one for right front running light, the other for right rear tail light. Someone could easily cross two of the above wires. Everything would still work, but the function of the fuses would be crossed up, like you say yours was. Human error if so. Not a Bentley error. My 85 has the exact wire config above, matching the Bentley perfectly, I just dropped down the fuse box to check.
