Am I over thinking this? Why am I seeing these USO with the windage in the left hand side? What is the advantage?

If its a standard right hand bolt or gas gun... it would keep the possibility of the shell extraction from hitting the turret or possibly causing a jam...

Re: Left hand windage?
If you are right-handed, you can easily make both elevation and windage adjustments with your weak/left hand without dramatically altering your shooting position or having to reach over top of the scope to make adjustments with a traditional right-side windage adjustment knob.

This!!!!
This is my favorite option on USO's and I recommend it highly for tactical/dynamic shooting. Simply stated your finger can remain near the trigger and your dominant hand in control of the rifle while you change windage or fiddle w/ parallax (TPAL or ERGO). You can also visualize the change w/o moving your face from your cheek weld just by focusing w/ your left eye (or opening it as the case may be). It is also a lot more visible from the firing position to verify zero at the same time as checking your bubble level if you are so equipped.
Cheers,
Doc

This is why, as a lefty, I have a much easier time running the dials than some righty shooters I know.

A left-handed windage knob works extremely well when shooting <span style="font-style: italic">right-handed prone</span> and when dialing windage frequently. If you shoot a lot of / primarily positional shooting and like to dial windage I it is probably better to stay with traditional right hand windage so you can support the rifle with the "weak" hand while dialing for wind.
