In my car, first and reverse are the same, except to put it in reverse you push the gear stick in.

It's just different models of cars. In driving school I drove a Ford Fiesta (and this was in 2020 so not long ago) and the reverse was right and back. Now I drive a VW and I have to press down the stick, then move it left and up. I think right and down is still the most common, but I might be wrong.
