Has this shower door been installed the wrong way round?!

I think I've just worked out that the reason my shower door leaks is because it was fitted by a moron. It looks to me as if the shower side of the hinge is on the outside! Am I right?

Shower side is right, outside is left. Please don't judge me for the mould and gunk!

Edit to add: And this is what I need to replace it with?

    Yes, it's backwards. Water will run down the inside of the door, down the plastic flexible flap and....onto the outside of the threshold! The flap should shut up against the inside of the threshold.

    I’ve spent hours trying to sort it before working it out! Good job I can see the funny side. Everything the previous owner had done was done really badly. Chap in my local Bathstore has been incredibly helpful today. I’ve got the replacement parts for a fiver and would have got the wrong stuff if I’d ordered myself online. My mate says we can do it ourselves. We’ll see!
