Could be that the cowlings fit both left and right.

Some plonker has put the cowlings for the LH engine onto the RH engine. Thus the mirror which should be on the RHS side on the left engine so the pilot can check the nose gear is now on the RHS of the right engine.

Or they only now make LHS cowlings and its just cheaper for stock to send them out with a redundant mirror fitted to 50% of them.
