maybe because some people may get confused as to whether it is a boat or a plane as they have similar shapes so to diferenciate they have them facing opposite ways so there's no confusion

What is a station for an aircraft?
The coordinate system convention used for most vehicles, including aircraft and automobiles, is based on an XYZ system originally developed for ships and boats. The X-axis of this system is positive pointing aft and is typically called the fuselage station (FS) in the case of an aircraft. The Z-axis is positive pointing upward and is known as the water line (WL). To complete a right-handed coordinate system, the Y-axis is positive pointing along the plane's right wing. The Y-axis is usually called the butt line (BL) but is sometimes referred to as the wing station (WS) as well. The latter name is probably less common since it can be confusing for military aircraft where pylons and other hardpoints are often called weapon stations.

Do you have pictures of the drawings and are you sure they are actually ink drawings instead of prints? If they are drawings, you had better have them appraised right away. They are probably quite valuable. If not, you can probably just frame them for your kids bedroom.
