Is there a reason for the left -hand drive side crank? Is this a cyclo-cross thing?

Race-leader Guihaire scales the rocks of Saint-Germaine during the 1936
French National Cyclocross Championships. He would be overtaken in the final
sprint by Paul Chocque. Note the normal caliper brakes, extra tape padding
the handlebar "drops", lack of derailleurs, wingnuts on the rear axle, but
perhaps a qr lever on the front (photo not clear enough to be certain).
