Yes, the shape of LLA (either as U+0A33 or as <0A32, 0A3C>) in Noto Gurmukhi 
fonts is different from the Unicode charts and the Windows fonts. The dot is on 
the lower left side in Noto, while it's on the lower right side in the Unicode 
charts and the Windows fonts.

It seems that the location of the dot on the bottom right in Unicode was due to 
a request from the Government of India in 2003. Here is their document: 
http://www.unicode.org/L2/L2003/03101-indic-dir/Gurmukhi.pdf (see top of page 
3).
Jelle, is the positioning in Noto intentional, or a bug?

The positioning is intentional, in the sense it follows the general principle 
for nukta positioning: if possible use a place where the nukta does not get in 
the way of other low marks.

My Panjabi book happens to be from 2003, and while it mentions the other 
"paireen bindee" characters, not this one. 

Searching through the list with Panjabi words I do not see U+0A33, but various 
words with <0A32, 0A3C>, which is occasionally followed by virama, uu vowel or 
a subscript va. So that is why the nukta is on the left.
