The bonnet release cables each follow a direct daisychain route through two catches, cable passes through the rear catch, that bit you push to release, then is secured against this with a drilled metal bar by grub screw, carrying on to reach the forward catch and secured again in the same way. If you're finding the catches need pushing forward rather than pulling rearward to release, maybe they've been swapped between sides.

Des I do believe that you are correct in so much that the locks were swapped over by the previous owner. No idea why?
I have now removed them all and cleaned them. One of the locks does not open properly so I now face the task of stripping it down and most probably I will have to make a new release spring. George
