I looked at my headlamps again this morning on an airport "shuttle" drive, and although there is a step up to the nearside, the higher part is flat rather than angled, so maybe that is where the confusion is arising.
As the step up is flat, you can just use the headlamp level control on the dash, take it down two notches and the higher part of the dip goes to the level of the lower part normally takes. That would make it OK to use in Europe. Though you would have a slightly lower dip on the continental "nearside" than you would have here,
