Swing tails

Just wondering, as you do, CL-44s and the DC6s, that had them, swung their tails on starboard hinges. Yet the new 747 freighter has the hinges on the port side. Seem to recall Guppys with swing noices hinged on the port side.
Is there a tech reason as to which side the hinges are mounted.?
