I've flown ex Lufthansa 737s one day and ex Ansett the next where switches operated in the opposite sense. Didn't take much getting used to.
I don’t think switch direction was a Boeing option. Ansett demanded the switches all be reversed, so that all their fleets had the switches operating in the same direction - to prevent the very confusions we are talking about. But I thought there were some hard negotiations about this - it was never a Boeing option.
