Default Driver Side Exterior Door Lock?

Why does my 38 Conv Sedan have a driver side door exterior opening for a keyed lock?
Everything I’ve read/photos show it on passenger door.

Ah…. That makes sense.

Did Canadian open cars have driver side locks?

Only those that Ford of Canada exported to RHD countries, just like Ford U.S. exports to RHD countries.
