Sassanian riding a horse facing backwards

Exactly. He has the sword on his hip, but he is twisted around in the saddle with his leg pushed backwards, so the sword is between his leg and the horse's flank.

You can also see his sword belt pulled across his waist, and the muscles of his calf showing the inside of his leg, not the outside.

Why is the sword position incorrect though? All the other depictions in the original post show the sword worn on the right as well.
