That picture makes sense as the right rear is the drive wheel in 2wd open diff so makes sense to put spare there.

With directional, you have 3/2 set up. No way other than only rotating the one side if you plan on keeping them directional.

Trepadors. But there are the khumos, Baja claws, pro comps and others in the same category.

Are you implying the left rear is not a drive tire in 2wd?
