Well England could wear either shirt, similarly Scotland, Wales and N Ireland can also wear the left one as it represents all of our nations.
It does point out a problem of English and British identity as the two are often merged in a way which isn't the case for the members of the union. For instance people talk of say Anglo-American relations, the Anglo-Japanese alliance, Anglo-German naval rivalry prior to WWI when strictly speaking the Anglo should be replaced by British. However your never going to get that sort of thing changed as its so deeply embedded in both national culture and many history sources, any more than your likely to get the correct regal number for kings named Edward in this country.
