I’m looking at purchasing a KSR-JT manual underpinner. It features front pedal operation where the moulding faces you. Can that be altered so that the moulding faces away from the foot pedal?

Do you know the brand of the underpinner?
With many underpinners, you can simply set it us so you stand 180 degrees from the intended position.
I don't see that code number coming up on the internet, so I'm not sure what machine you are looking at.

The owner doesn’t have an owner’s manual and there’s no make/model on it

Do you have any pictures?
Those would help quite a bit.
 
This thread might be of interest. The machine you are looking at is a made in China model. You can buy this one at Walmart online as well

My 20 yo cassese has parts that can’t be replaced - covid - and I’m in serious need of an underpinner but I’ve checked everywhere and there’s nothing in my area. Everything outside my area is pickup only - outside being New York/Seattle and I’m located in Florida. Closes thing I could find was a Chinese model in Georgia but he wants 4K for it and so my options are that or alibaba which are Chinese made as well BUT it’s significantly less expensive and I figure the potential for getting screwed is significantly less. So I was...

Looking at the photo in the listing, I would assume that you could swap it, but no guaruntee.
I have no experience with leg powered underpinners, only pneumatic.
I used a leg powered chopper for about a year (when in my 20s). I don't recall any leg strain, but I likely would get some now.
