Well, that's a surprise. Looks like I haven't been around the tandems fast enough to have caught onto that immidiately. Now that I see that reversed Look pedal on the captain's RH crankarm, it makes sense.
Looks as if your job will be a lot easier, Joe - all you need to find is a standard TA left arm for the stoker, and swap the captain's crankset around, along with the timing chain, and possibly the captain's BB too, depending on how the bike was converted.

P.S.: What's the serial, Joe? It isn't newer then '76 - the decals don't match. Waterford has the tandem serials listed on their site:
