I don't think so.

What if you mirror it again to get back to an unmirrored state, then run
the code in mirwiz to create a submodel that only looks mirrored (but
actually just flips pieces to look mirrored and substitutes opposite
wedges, wings, and other one sided parts)? Then you can use the same
orientation as the unmirrored original submodel. And the part list will
have the correct number of left/right wings and such.
