Hi, Nathan
All of the riders in the other plates (or platters) are riding facing to the left, their geldings are cantering to the left, and the sword is worn on the left. Sassanians, Sarmatians, and even Romans, wore their longswords on the left. Our crazy guy is riding backwards, the horse canters to the left, his knee joint and ankle joint are facing right, and he has his sword on the right side of his hip.
