Plug wire mix up?

mrunclegibbons
So I bought a 78 vb750 about a week ago and it's running great, no problems  (cept a leaky carb)... anyway, I finally got a chance to give it a tune up and I'm adjusting the valves and I'm gonna test the compression because I have the carbs off right now and I noticed the wire labeled 3 was in the 2ND cylinder and the wire labeled 2 was in the 3rd cylinder. Could this have been a mistake from the previous owner? Or is it assembled correctly and just mislabeled? Again, it's running great, so I feel it might just be mislabeled. Anyone able to weigh in on this?

Cylinders 1 and 4 are connected to the same coil, and cylinders 2 and 3 are connected to the other coil. It does not make any difference if 1 and 4 are switched, or if 2 and 3 are switched. So don't worry about it.
