[GNC] Debit and Credit columns wrong way round on one transaction report but not the other

If indeed your transactions were entered backwards, you can go through
each one and put a minus sign in front of each and every debit and
credit amount and they will swap sides after tabbing through. (there
might be an easier way to swap them, but I'm not aware of such)
There's no such thing as a negative debit or negative credit. They are
simply the 'negative' of each other which is why GnuCash will swap the
value to the opposite column if you put a minus sign on a value. (you
are either increasing or decreasing an account's balance, you can't
'negative increase' or 'negative decrease' it.)
Note, you probably want to turn on View > Transaction Journal while
doing this so you see all splits in a transaction. Be sure to reverse
every single split in every transaction or else you'll have a mess of
Imbalance entries to deal with.
