That's correct. But
AFAIK, the difference between the Merlin 113 and 114 wasn't the prop rotation, but the fact that the 114 (of which nearly twice as many were produced, compared to the 113: 1200 vs 650) had an additional supercharger for cabin pressurisation.
By searching for 'merlin 113 / 114' found a photo on another site that showed a photo of a mosquito with props with opposite pitch. But this is all very pedantic!
I'd be very interested to see that. There's a pretty conclusive photo and a lot of technical detail on the
PR.34 here:
