PPSh-41 Magazine Followers?

Are they reversible?

On all my Polish mags they are first bullet on the left.  On all of my Russian mags they are first bullet on the right.  I took some newly acquired Russian mags apart to clean out Comrade Cosmoline and I could see no front/rear, left/right differences in the followers.  In one case the follower was hanging up on the inner feed lips so I intentionally reversed it and now it feeds fine by hand; haven't taken it to the range yet.

Interesting as usual. I'll go home tonight and pull a few mags (PPSH41) to see which way my followers orient.
