One of my friends saw this and was wondering why the cams appear to be backwards...

Maybe they don't want the full weight to hit the piece they're working?

When the hammer drops off the cam it's quite far up in the air. If they were in the other way it wouldn't drop clean, it would slide down the slope applying lateral forces until it reached the point of the cam.
