John and List,

From my experience, the QR on the drive side was pretty common. When I imported Cinellis in the late 1950s, sometimes they came with the QR setup that way. Then when I got my Masi bikes in the early 1960s, they all had the rear QR on the drive side. But when I bought my last Masi in ca. 1968, the QR was now on the left side.
