I can't understand your question. Do you mean QB-362K78 with Arabic-Indic
digits instead of European ones? If this is the case, there is no
difference with the English one. We read all of it from left to right. But
it differs when the letters are replaced with Arabic letters. In this
case, if the left most character is a digit, all is written LTR, but if
it's a letter, all written RTL, except number blocks which are read RTL.
