Looks like your car may have once had a euro fog light and had the wring adjusted so that both fogs came on. Its since been changed back to a reverse light on the passenger sire but the wiring hasnt.
Your 2 options are, either change the light unit to a euro one, or disconnect the passenger side bulb (or just remove the bulb)

maybe the prviuos owner thought you had to have a reverse light for the MOT and rigged the reverse light upto the fog switch rather than change the reverse light switch

thats the oy of old cars, someone has normally bodged repairs before you get the car lol
