Pedal configuration in right-hand drive?

Depends on the country of manufacture, not the manufacturer. Japan always has the indicator on the right, same for Australia and New Zealand. Used to be the same for the UK too, but now as most of their cars are made in Europe, and there is a lot of cross channel travel they have the Euro system of left indicator. However, in NZ we take cars from all over the world, and so you would find a Mitsubishi Pajero sold new in the country would have a right indicator stalk....if made in Japan. If it was made in the Netherlands the stalk would be on the left...confusing when the vehicle was identical. Same with Nissan, the Navara can be made in Thailand...or Spain, and stalks swapped in an identical looking vehicle.
The first time,years ago,while driving in N.Z. my first time I had the Grandkids in the back seat. When we got back to the house after ice cream they told their Dad,Grandpa needs help driving,he turns on the wipers when turning a corner,and it's not even raining!!! L.O.L.We are going back in three weeks,one of those boys can drive me around!!!

Disciplined they were...
I remember all the way to the mid 90s Japanese cars made for France would even come with translated gauges.

Essence, Eau, Huile were things you could see written. Temp gauges were funky, with F (Froid) and C(Chaud) instead of C and H at the Min and Max.

Fuel level gauges were V(Vide) for E and P(Plein) for F.

Can't remember if they did it for the German market too.

I’ll be vacationing in Ireland this June. The rental car we’ve reserved for 2 weeks has a manual transmission. I don’t know what make and model it’ll be, but it’ll be fun driving on the opposite side of the road, opposite side of the car, shifting with my left hand,…all of this on narrow roads. I’ve got this! 😎

Maybe I should have my wife take videos for your amusement. 🤔
