Well, Tolkien wanted England to have it's own legend, or myth (same thing) and that was one of the reasons he created Arda. He felt that England had no legends of it's own and so he created it. Maybe he wanted to be different and he switched those positions to give England a different myth from all the other ones, which are all very similar.
