Swapped leading and trailing wires

Hey guys, I was replacing the wires on my '93 FD today and noticed that the leading and trailing wires were swapped on my second rotor. Is there any reason why this would be other than the last guy messed it up when he replaced them? My car only has an HKS intake, other than that it just a couple reliably mods. It has been switched to a parallel on the twin turbos. The Ignition system is stock to my knowledge.

Swapping the leading and trailing plug wires will fire the plugs backwards and potentially cause serious engine damage.

My car looked like they had be swapped like this. Turned out the coil packs had also been swapped over as well if that makes sense.
