Jet engine rotation.

With non-geared engines, subject to the engine manufacturer. Us built engines rotate clockwise where UK built engines rotate counterclockwise… even the jet engines GE and Pratts rotate clockwise whilst the RR counterclockwise.
Do they? That is an interesting and intriguing fact, to be sure, which prompts me to ask; There is quite a lot of rotating mass inside a high bypass fan jet so, would a GE powered aeroplane - say a 757 - turn slightly differently from an R-R powered 757?
