Then make four gerbers:

PCB doesn't mirror gerbers; it plots all gerbers as viewed from the
component side, with the same orientation.

If you ask it to *print* the layers (i.e. for home etching), it has
mirroring options (auto and manual), but the (default) alignment marks
include an "orientation" mark so you know which way the board is. You
only get one mirror option; if you want the image rotated, just pick
up the paper and rotate it ;-)
