All good data points, thanks a lot everybody.
I've been talking to a few TR owners here in the US, and it seems that LHD TRs with the column-mounted overdrive switch had it on the left, with down for on. Thus it stands to reason that mounting such a switch in my car will give the original up for on behaviour.
Now just to see if I can find a chromed one; the switches that I've seen available new in the US are all in black.
Overdrive column switch - parts interchange?

Re: Overdrive column switch - parts interchange?
Afraid I bracketed a metal toggle switch on the gear lever on both TR (retrofitted OD, so had no stalk switch and new ones weren't around at the time) and 2000 - had been built OD, then someone converted it to auto, I changed it back as the automatic box was faulty, and the gearknob switch that was on the car the box came from fell to bits.
I lie, actually to start with I switched the 2000 with the rear screen switch, well, that didn't work, and it was a handy switch in the right place.....
