In the SICM system that predated the M100-A, the customer
addressed the mechanism from the back, so although the
play order made sense from that perspective, when the
mechanism was adopted for the M100-A the play order wasn't
changed for the new orientation of the mechanism, so it
ended up "backwards".  I always wondered why Seeburg didn't
make the relatively simple modification of changing the
play order on the M100-A, especially since every "A" side
requires the motor to reverse direction twice as it goes
from scan to play and back to scan again.
