The turn signal was/is located on the right side of the column up to the 
'74 model year.  So this one was mounted on the right side in more ways
than one.

This reminded me of the time I was out of town for a couple of months and
left the keys to my '72 tii with a friend whom I told could use it if he
needed.  He, having never driven it before, proceeded to try to use the
high/low switch to signal turns.  As he put it, it seemed to move okay
when he signaled a right turn but didn't want to move when he wanted to
make a left turn.  A trip to the dealer and $70 later (12 years ago), he
now knew of the odd location of the turn signal stalk.

PS Do you mean that your turn signal is on the right side or the correct
side (subject to debate)? :^)
