Hi Clem, I think this was only applicable to the older gold sealines that were marketed as Daiwa-Seiko. I've attached a photo of one which I took off the net just for reference.

Cheers,
Andrew

Clem, if the pic Ruffy has posted is the reel in question, then here is (the slightly modified) bridge plate.

The came with an extra post for left or right dog placement.

In looking (starting in 2008) for Sealines to build up my offshore lineup and parts reels of 30H, 50H (parts), SMF170H, 300H, 350H (parts), 400H, and 600H, I've never encountered any lefty versions (including what was tagged as JDM). There were none listed up to the last year (2014?) on the Sealine H webpages that were still up on http://www.daiwa.com/us/.
