I assume this is a single phase motor with a capacitor housed in a power
bulge. Can you confirm?

Yes, single phase. In fact it has two "power bulges" on the top at 11 and
1 o'clock.

If so there'll be 2 windings, 1 powered directly with mains the other
indirectly through a capacitor. If the 2 windings are identical then the
capacitor may be swapped from one winding to the other. If they are not
identical it can't be reversed without overheating and/or loss of
performance.

I presume reversing the supply to either one of the windings would also do
it...


Ooops yes it would! Best way to do it.
