Is the reverse always upside down on an 1875 British Threepence?

Yes.
It was the practice for hundreds of years for the reverse and obverse of British Coins to be 180 degrees out.
The practice was gradually phased out during the course of the 19th century.

The practice to which you refer is called "Coin Rotation".
The Royal Mint used 180 degree coin rotation for many years, but gradually phased it out during the course of the 19th century.
The 1887 Threepence was the last British Threepence to be minted using coin rotation.
