There are kits for rhd so i don't see why it's not possible for lhd, it usually involves retro fitting a flap onto your existing one I think.
Putting vw caddy gloves box in Google brings up thousands of results, if you pick through them there's lhd ones there.

2K5 857 101 A is the glove compartment (that replaces the default stowage compartment) for a LHD 2015 Caddy, and 2K5 857 121 is the lid. I grabbed those numbers from here!

hello Pieparker!
in fact it is just what I thought looking at drawings, they seem interchangeable. I thought that someone had already tried this change

thanks
