At the risk of being anal, fitting the axle back to front would confuse the Ackerman effect where the inside wheel has to turn more than the outside wheel at a corner.

I'm not familiar with the names or regions in Scotland, is Banffshire an old council district or area, is it incorrect when it says Aberdeen/BanffshireI’m talking about 2wd so which ever wheel is on the inside could turn as much as it likes could it not??
Sorry for the confusion! With either 2 or 4wd, the inside, front wheel has to SWIVEL more than the outer. Naturally they will rotate at different speeds (or break a diff-lock).I’m talking about 2wd so which ever wheel is on the inside could turn as much as it likes could it not??
The axle in question doesn't have an Ackermann layout according to your diagram.
Dad had AV1 on his Series 2 Landie. When he first bought it in 1945, he was in the RAF at Edzell and thought he would write to Aberdeen Council for a joke to see if he could have it for his sports car. They said yes, it will cost you £5 for the privilege so he had it. We sold it when he died and it was bought by Doug Ellis of Aston Villa for a bit more than a fiver.
What a super story! Regarding RAF, I once saw AV8 on a car in Hay on Wye.Dad had AV1 on his Series 2 Landie.

..........with a loader on and a silage bale belting down the main road..........
well there's the thing...........with a loader on and a silage bale belting down the main road..........
So you're saying that it might not be a good idea to change the front axles in my pair of 996s.
This is a pretty good diagram showing the Ackermann Principal, but it is slightly incorrect, insofar as the Ackermann lines should bisect directly over the centre of the non-steered (usually rear) axle.
When i come to think about it,the front wheel bearings used to go on our old 1200 as well.It had no loader on it.
