Your bike is precisely the mirror image of my 1962 Bianchi Corsa, whose Universal sidepulls were the mirror image of your Weinmann/Diacompes, and whose rear cable guides were brazed onto the lower left side of the top tube. It came with same-side cabling, exactly the mirror image of what you show. Schwinns were set up more like your bike, with left front / right rear and Weinmann-style sidepulls.

I guess I don't see a problem. Use longer cables and cross them over, as is common practice today, or just keep them as-is, depending on your own preference for brake parity.
