P-38 Prop Rotation

Any history guru able to answer the question as to why the rotation of the props were reversed from the prototype to subsequent aircraft? On the prototype the top of the props rotated towards the fuselage, subsequent aircraft the top of the props rotated away from the fuselage. A reference would be handy if available. Thanks in advance.
