Reich Vector Tap query

Advice please. We have a Lunar Eclipse 17/4 2017 which we bought in 2020.
We have the same Reich Vector tap in the kitchen and bathroom. On the first outing, following a cold winter, we had a problem with the tap in the bathroom. I stripped it down and replaced the 25mm cartridge 412 with a genuine part. It would only fit one way but, although it worked well, it was opposite to the open/close of the kitchen tap.
A year later, following another cold winter, we had a wet bathroom carpet and another failed cartridge (we now have the Floe drain down kit).
Having ordered another genuine part I took great care fitting it. Again it would only fit one way, and again it is the opposite to the kitchen tap.
It was mentioned on a recent service so I thought I would ask the experts.
Any ideas, or is it me?

Having fixed and fitted lots of taps in caravans and motorhomes I understand your dilemma. The easiest solution would be to swop the hot and cold tails underneath the offending tap. The water pipes tend to be hidden behind false rears in the cupboard under the toilet sink. If you are unfamiliar with removing a tube from a john Guest fitting see video:-
