For instance, a brooch pinned on the left breast portion of a shirt is now seen to be on the right breast portion in the print/photo when the film was developed.

Common mistake. In fact, you see it in movies as well. The same effect can happen in digital photos and easily reversed.
Sometimes editors want images reversed for a purpose. Maybe it would look better if the main person in the photo was looking the other way, balancing the other pictures on the same magazine page. Look for pictures where the emblems on shirts or hats are reversed. I've also found photos where the hair was parted the wrong way, of a man's/woman's shirt was buttoned on the wrong side!

Oh, that is easily explained. The photograph reverses the right and left. And what you are seeing is a film negative? If you print a positive, that should again get reversed.
