Pulling to the left - are my tyres the wrong way round? pics

have a 530D msport in the Uk with 351 style 19" wheels with Michelin Primacy Hp tyres.
have already had the car through a KDS check which found that the rear right toe-in was out by a third of a degree - that has been addressed and everthing else is within spec.
HOWEVER
the faster the car goes, the more it feels it still wants to drift left. Camber certianly influences it (which is fair enough to a point) but I feel most of the time on motorways and fast roads it is pulling to the left.

Today i was casually looking at the tyres (as you do!) and noticed that the tread was different on each side.
Now I don't know if the tyres I have should be directional , they look wrong to me. The tyres on the right hand side of the car look wrong to me whereas the ones on the left look right.

Can't seem t find out if these tyres are directional?

Shot in the dark but wondering if this may be the cause?

Thoughts?
