Of course they are different engines, although the only real difference is how they were made, they both have a 60 degree "V" but its makes no difference at what side the balance shaft is mounted.
When Saab fitted the Cologne engine in the 96 it was Ford Germany that did all the development work and then passed the completed cars back to Saab for evaluation. The Saab is FWD don't forget with a trans axle, thus easy to open up and turn the diff around for front engine and FWD or rear engine and RWD. I can confirm that the British V4 turns clockwise looking from the front of the engine like virtually all engines do with the exceptions being some small two strokes and the Citroen D
If as you say these V4 were such you'd not be able to do this.
