Dean, just to make sure I'm on the same page on this topic, my understanding of the term "reverse chokes" in the OP was referring to the left barrel being the more open choke.
To me, this is a "left barrel first" gun, assuming that the targets are usually going away.
If we're talking about choke constriction, that's a whole other subject
I had a 32" 1935 Trap Gun that was a modified (.18k) left barrel, and super full (.40k) rt barrel that I did quite a bit of box bird shooting with.
The gun was clearly stocked for a right handed shooter, BTW.
I always thought that it might have had a little quicker second barrel because of the left barrel recoil impulse dynamics.
My theory actually goes a little deeper, but I don't want to take this topic too far into the weeds.

Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t believe being right or left handed has anything to do with guns being reverse choked. There are an ample number of double trigger British made O/U guns where the front trigger fires the tighter barrel.
