bandit - your mention of the rear spindle being fitted the wrong way round is also an interesting one.
I've compared it to pics I've taken of my bike in the past, it's been fitted this way in all of them (Nut on right).

Depending on the end can you have, you sometimes have to have the nut on the right hand side as theres not enough clearance to remove the spindle from that side without removing the end can. You need to get the torque right though, or it can undo itself due to the rotation of the wheel.
Putting the spindle in from the RHS mitigates the self loosening by always trying to tighten the spindle into the nut..
