Gene:
I contacted the owner of ArmaLite, Mark Westrom about this.
Here is his reply.

Hi T.
Please post a correction. The sight isn't backwards!
ArmaLite reverses the casting so that the NM aperture facing the shooter is flat. Just like an M1 or M14. It prevents the reflection from the curved surface of the sight. Apertures are smaller too.
What he mistakes as a manufacturing error is merely a difference for NM use.
