The buddist and Navajo swastikas are opposite hand from the Nazi one. You’d have to flip the image so the arms point clockwise to have the Nazi version.

I believe that "Swastikas" (the twisted cross) are of feature of Navajo weaving and have been for centuries.

"The Swastika" is the oldest cross and emblem in the world. It forms a combination of four "L's" standing for Luck, Light, Love and Life. It has been found in ancient Rome, excavations in Grecian cities, on Buddhist idols, on Chinese coins dated 315 B.C., and our own Southwest Indians use it as an amulet.
