Which sounds to me like you should overtake on the left, so the original question stands. And in response to the question - I have no idea.
No! you've read it wrong; "shall keep out of the way of the other aircraft by altering course to the right". In an aeroplane, the driver sits in the left hand seat. Overtaking on the right allows clear and uninterrupted visibility of the A/C that has right of way.
