See just after the large 'R':

Chas I think I'd need more convincing than an
oil pen marking that these tyres are directional. Unless there's some information actually moulded into the tyre's sidewall, that mark could mean anything. Maybe the tyre technician simply marked the tyre to make sure he put it back onto the left rear rim. I doubt that sort of mark would be ex-factory.
And just as an aside.... it's been a long while since I had my Austin Healey 3000 with its wire wheels and knockoffs, and maybe my memory is hazy, but is that safety wire on your wheel spinner pulling the right way? I seem to remember that left hand side spinners tightened in a clockwise direction.
