this is awesome. I'd leave the thing unlocked just to see what happens. I've heard that in India some of the working bikes have oversized bells with the same arrangement.
As far as the OP, I have always had the front brake on the right hand. I had even forgotten that it was uncommon until the LBS owner tried to stop the back wheel of my bike and startled when it didn't work.
