Decathlon....poor workmanship

Popped into a branch of decathlon today to look at a few cycles. I noticed more than ½ dozen were incorrectly assembled with forks incorrectly mounted the wrong way round. I grabbed a few photos as I couldn't believe what I was looking at.
The cycles were ready for sale with the assemblers name on the ticket, perhaps supervision may be an issue.
Is this indicative of Decathlon, or was I simply unlucky with the store?
This was on MTB's with front suspension.

Are you sure they are the wrong way round? AFAIK know the only MTB forks that had rear mounted brakes were 20 year old Pace.0

I think they're right but one has got an unusual fork brace design.0

As above -- are you sure they're the wrong way round? There wouldn't be mounting holes for the brakes on the back of the forks.
And, with the fork design on the left, there wouldn't be room to mount them on the other side -- the "joining" bit of the forks above the wheel would be in the way.0 -
They are wrong.
There are section of display where some are correct and others are assembled back to front. The image above is of the same models of bike and the forks are mounted differently.Don’t be a can’t, be a can.0 -
Am I missing something or have the images been removed?0

The forks were similar to these but had brake lugs on the front.
