GMC C60X in Russian Service

I have only ever seen cmp's with RH drive, although this is something that I have always wondered about. Was there ever any intention of opting for LH drive in a cmp?
The reason I ask this is that if one looks on a cmp frame rail, the mounting holes are there for the steering box on the LH side.
The only thing I could think of at the time was that the frame rails were blanked out the same for left and right sides and just bent opposite for there respective side.
Often times in manufacturing extra holes, cutouts etc are put in place rather than making specific parts, the blank adapted, bent etc to make the opposite.
Any thoughts?
