Is this inverted?
I reflected that Canon Denwyn Richardson was not anyone’s image of a typical village vicar. He was large and bluff and hearty, and if he’d had tattoos, he might have been mistaken for the captain of one of those rusty tramp steamers that drags itself wearily from one sun-drenched port to another in whatever God-awful outposts are still left of the British Empire.
Is ‘in whatever God-awful outposts are still left of the British Empire.’ an inverted version of
‘in whatever God-awful outposts of the British Empire are still left’?

I'm not sure that 'inversion' is the right term, but yes, they are equivalent rearrangements of the clause.
