Left hand thread thermocouples were made by American Water Heater company and I believe some Whirlpool models as well. The part was put on American Proline Water Heaters from 2000 to 2006 and then discontinued. The company now replaces this with an adapter that will accept universal right hand thread thermocouples.

You could check with a service technician, but I can't imagine any oil plug being left-handed threads. There are more than enough idiots out there stripping right-handed threads by over-tightening them to take a chance on changing one brand to the opposite thread.
