Unequal Steering Stops - is that common?

While draining/changing the swivels today, I took a measurement of both steering stop bolts.  The near-side was 12.5mm (threaded gap between the hub and the bolt head), but the off-side is 17.5mm.  Is this normal?  Other than the obvious "they've been adjusted before", what might be a reason for then to be different?

I found this several years ago, not that I bother to check every one ( I am on my 22nd Land Rover)

I figured that it was because of the action of the arc of movement of the Panhard rod causes the axle to move sideways slightly when the suspension is compressed ?

Even more so if one has a suspension lift.

Or maybe they have been adjusted before !😄
