@LutzL So can't it be $\delta_{h,-,2} f(x) := \left( \delta_{h,-}+\frac{h}{2} \delta_{h,-}^2 \right) ?

Sorry, no, the last part of my last remark was off, probably was too late in the night. Up to the discussed sign the original formula is correct, as was aqain confirmed by the first part of my last remark.
@LutzL So you mean that it is right with - ?
Without the -? Where 3f(x) in the end has positive sign.
So it is equal to $\frac{-4f(x-h)+3f(x)+f(x-2h)}{2h}$ ? @LutzL
@LutzL And I have also an other question.
@LutzL $$\delta_{h, \text{right}}f(x)=(\delta_{h,+}^2-h \delta_{h,+}^3) f(x)=\frac{1}{h^2} (2f(x)-5f(x+h)+4f(x+2h)-f(x+3h))$$

Does it hold that $$|\delta_{h, \text{right}}f(x)-f''(x)| \leq \frac{11}{12} h^2 ||f^{(4)}||_{\infty}$$ ?

Because I find an other constant.
@LutzL I have found that $$\delta_{h, \text{right}}f(x)=f''(x)+\frac{h^2}{24} (64 f^{(4)}(\xi_2)-5 f^{(4)}(\xi_1)-81 f^{(4)}(\xi_3))$$

There it seems you will need to use an interpolation formula to get the remainder term estimate with only one point for the 4th derivative. This should be an actual question in the forum.
@LutzL Can I show what I tried?
@LutzL Is it possible that the error of a Taylor expansion is negative?

Mathematic formulas are very hard to read here and the problem is big enough for a proper question. Perhaps there is a trick that makes this very easy, I don't know it.
