The location of the motor 'out of factory' is, I think, irrelevant. The Lucas motor could well be the same form one vehicle to another, or from left hand to right hand drive. What's important is what's on the inside. IIRC the motor stops in the rest or home position when it ceases to get power. This dictated by the position of a dead spot on a power contact surface/disc. This dead spot has power only when the wiper is in the on position, whereas the remainder of the surface has constant power (post ignition). So when you turn off the wipers, they keeps moving until they hit this dead spot, where power to the motor is cut off and the wipers stop. I took a wiper motor & mechanism apart once 35 years ago, and this is how the wiper always stops at the correct position. I appreciate though that this system may not be employed on all cars.
