76 ironhead with right side shift?

The cases were amenable to a "right side shift conversion" - and lots of folks have done that. I'd get the VIN, and then you'll know what you have.
Just an FYI - I believe 1974 was the last year of the "stock" right-side shift, but, the '75s had the shifter pawl on the right, w/a funky linkage/crossbar setup to the left-side shift lever.

The first year left-side shift was mandated was 1975. That said, it wasn't until 1977 that the Motor Company actually redesigned the case to be true left-side shift. So it would be easy to revert back by just removing the linkages and installing a righty shift.
And like Mr. FXRT said, if you check the VIN (it will only be on the engine, just the year, model, and serial, no frame VIN) it will tell you the year. It will be the first 2 digits on the motor if it is original.
