Any Ordnance badge with the cannons facing right must be a collar?

Most Ordnance Badges have the Cannons facing to the left, But the 1917-23 NZAOC badge seem seem to be an exception, as the cannons face to the Right.

At the time NZ had two Ordnance organisations, The NZ Army Ordnance Department (NZAOD), which was comprised of the Ordnance Officers, and the the
NZ Army Ordnance Corps (NZAOC), which was the the Other Ranks.

So having the cannons on the NZAOC badge facing right might have been a deliberate part of the design to differentiate the two similar, but different badges?
