V5C why don't they detail the drivers side?

[Bebee]

I was trying find drivers side info and what it would read on a V5C for the 1998 McLaren F1 road car, which I think would read 'central', then discovered (if I'm correct) that a V5C doesn't detail the steering side at all.
So how would you know if any car was changed from Left to Right hand drive and VV?

The hole in the dash where the steering wheel once was would give it away I think

Done well it would be irrelevant and done badly it would be obvious.

The chassis number (VIN) tells you the original build side, if you know how and where to look it up.

HPI can do it ....

Footwell of the car? Engine bay bulkhead...

Additional thought, it would be something else for the DVLA/dealership to screw up on inital registration, and how often does someone swap the drivers side on a car?
