Is the entire thing just set up for a right handed pilot? That is the only reason I know of for the fixed v. vertical wing thing...
... I wonder if it stems from the issue of shared controls. Back in the early flying days, they would have a center control and both pilots would share....
... Door-wise, I think the answer is easier: If you don't put a door on the left side of the cabin, you can easily install electrical panels, fuel controls,...
I've no idea for why fixed wing pilots are usually on the left (they're not always, the S.F. 260 puts the PIC on the right), but I have heard a good reason for...

Geez, why didn't I think of that. Then it is possible the left turn gave rise to the left pattern which, in turn, gave rise to the left seat. I doubt they...
