Sorry, but you are not using styles: you are only using one
page style. What you want to do requires two page styles: one for the
left page and one for the right page. You do not want to do this.
What happens when you mirror the pages, everything gets
mirrored. This means the "right" page has the graphic anchored to the
right of the page number. The mirror to that puts the anchor of the
graphic to the left of the left page numbers. This is exactly what
you said you did not want. BUT, it is exactly what mirroring is
suppose to do.
If you do not want to use the preset Page Styles of Left Page and
Right Page, you can create new Page Styles based upon them You can
even number the one for the left pages, Body-Left Page and the one
for the right pages, Body-Right Page.
If you want to know how to really use styles including Page
Styles, I recommend the chapter on Styles in the Getting Started
Guide at http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors/.
