You should be OK swapping them around. They look to be asymmetric and not directional by the tread pattern, but just double check the sidewall markings to be sure there are no arrows showing direction of rotation.

My Volvo's tyres (factory-fit Michelins on the rear, new Coopers on the front) have 'inside' and 'outside' on the respective sidewalls so the wheels can simply be swapped, without needing to remove tyres from the rims.

The Avon ZV5 is not a one directional tyre and therefore the wheel can be fitted on either side of the vehicle. It does need to be fitted correctly to the wheel however, as it has an "outside" and an "inside".
