Depends on what you intended for using the car...factory put it on passenger side...remember that the car was made for right hand side...so to open the hinges are on the left...strick  Concours Judges would look for that ( I know that from experince ) also the gauges were placed for right hand drive, after we retired from Concours, SCAA I reversed the gauges, making it much easery to see oil pressure and temp.
So...if yours is to be a driver...put them where it is where YOU want,

Interesting. 
I’d love to know what order the gauges were shipped as. 
My car was from the original owner - I suppose they may have turned the gas cap for convenience. Apparently so. I thought the factory shipped to align with driver seat.

I would place the filler opening side on the same side as my daily driver's
filler side.  That way if you go through much of your life on autopilot (as
I seem to be doing more and more these days) you will pull up on the
correct side of the pump without thought (although it is pretty easy to
make either side work on the TR4-6, bigger trick is not dripping petrol on
the valence).
