The display is in glcanon.py

If I was in your position I would experiment with adding a
glRotatef(180, 0, 1, 0)
around that point.
I think that your lathe is basically conventional except rotated through 180 degrees on Y. glrotate is (angle, X-amount, Y-amount, Z-amount) In fact I think that those two lines there could be (90,1,0,-1) but with rotations order matters, to there might be a reason for the current two-line method.
glcanon is Python, so just changing the file and restarting LinuxCNC will work, no need to compile anything.
