Back Bumper Asymmetry

I'm sure more eagle eyed owners have spotted this

It sadly took me a month to realize it

Do people realize the reflector light colors are asymmetric on the rear bumper? I was driving behind my spouse and just noticed it for the first time

It seems like this is consistent across all the cars at our local dealership and on online photos so I don't think this is an error/mistake

Just an odd observation

Yeah, when I bought mine last year the previous owner/joker had switched them. Took me while to figure out why the rear backup light was so weak.
Of course, if you go to a country that drives on the other side of the road, they are reversed. It's a rear fog/parking light.
