The Manual for the Churchill mentions the steering being reversed in reverse mode and advises it is like moving a bycycle in reverse and advises the following to avoid steering incorrectly, Forward motion -pull the tiller arm (handle bar) right side backward to steer right and pull the left handle bar grip backward to turn left.

Reverse motion push right hand tiller arm forward to turn right and push the left hand tiller bar handle forward to turn left.

 

The max speed of a Churchill in reverse at nominal (350BHP) at 2,200 r.p.m was only 1.3 m.p.h so the idea that it reverts at higher speed is probably moot. Hope that helps

 

Beat me to it Adrian as usual:D
