Which is which?

I've seen some pics from North Africa, with the cuff on the left arm but most with the cuff on the right arm, (A couple of pics were found to be reversed images). Until now I really had'nt thought about it that much, was the Afrikakorps cuff on a different arm than the AFRIKA award?

[did'nt mean to butt in but this post made me think about it]
