Has anyone else had a phone like this one with the silent switch the wrong way round? The photo shows the phone off silent however the switch is set to silent?

You know what? In all honesty I would take it back, this Phone may turn into a Lemon down the road. I know it’s one small mistake, but you don’t know what else the person who assembled it messed up in the process.

This is the first time I have ever seen that, so it would have me questioning what’s going on. For all you know they may have mistakenly sold you a refurb unit.

At the back of the phone at the bottom, where does it say it was assembled?

I own two iPhones XR and neither of them have any wording on the back of them other than the word "iPhone". Granted, these are iPhones XR purchased in the US, so I can't speak for iPhones XR from other parts of the world.

Ahhh yes, in the USA you guys don’t have the whole CE writing and all that at the back of your iPhones?

Right, we don't have that wording at all. I wasn't sure there was a difference, thank you for posting that. Here is one of my iPhones XR:

I'm beginning to wonder if that red paint/indicator was painted on the wrong side of the raised toggle piece. Have you tested the behavior in both toggle states?
