It's a B3 DH. You can see the elbow rest which is quite nice (built by operator).
I thought that Airbus stopped producing left hand drives. At least they are not available in Canada anymore for quite some time.
The visibility is a lot better than through the small window on a right hand drive due to the much better peripheral vision you get but it's a quite uncomfortable body position. Your body position is quite twisted and backwards. Also not so comfy for shorter drivers due to the fact that you are losing right pedal contact whey you are twisting your body.
