Limb Lead Reversal
In order to understand why the leads look the way they do, we must recall Einthoven’s triangle.
As for the aVL/aVF reversal, we must remember that aVL/aVF/aVR are all augmented leads (hence the a) and rely on interpreting their view of the electrical activity of the heart as an average of two limb leads. This picture should help:
