Your original post said:

making it hard to know what sort of data is in this file.

So I guess it would help to have some sample data to work with, even
if it's just some dummy data and a raw processing loop without doing
anything inside it.  Something like the output of either of these

  $ xxd forward_data.txt | head -50 > forward_head.txt
  $ od forward_data.txt | head -50 > forward_head.txt

plus a basic loop to show how you're extracting the values:

  for line in file("forward_head.txt"):
    data1, data2, data3 = process(line)

and how you want to reverse over them:

  for line in file("reversed.txt"):
    if same_processing_as_forward_source:
      data1, data2, data3 = process(line)
    else:
      data1, data2, data3 = other_process(line)

or do you want something more like

  for line in super_reverse_magic(file("forward_head.txt")):
    data1, data2, data3 = process(line)

?
