After many years in service, CFS (H) at Tern Hill 'discovered that it was possible to fit the Whirlwind tail rotor the wrong way round ! Subsequent preflight was to include checking that the lower t/r blade 'matched' the aerodynamic profile of the tail pylon. ... and, yes, the rotation was into the main rotor.
