It may also be an option where one direction is prevalent and the picks for that direction are more common, allowing a reversed keyway that negates the picks for the opposite orientation.

Came here to say pretty much this. It's fairly common. There are 4 orientations for picking. Left-up, left-down, right-up and right-down.

Though for the life of me, can't see the difference between Left-Up/Right-Down and Left-Down/Right-Up.

It was explained to me that one side was for restricted keyways, the other side for common keyways. It was a factory rep that told me that, I assumed he knew his business(?). Then the factory set us up with new hardware, and the new keyway was the reverse of the original! I'll have to run down to the Woolworth store and see if I can get a dup!
