Nominally they are the same, it's more likey you are a victim of LR tolerance.  Measure from a point on the axle, say the spring seat or trailing link bracket out to the disk on each side.

Hang on....

You've put a complete axle under the vehicle, yes?

The casings are the same, The brake disk & pads are the same, The CV joints & half-shafts are different (24 v's 12 spline)

...... but you said one side is off-set more than the other?

Borked radius arms are unlikely to make half-an-inch of difference.

If you are proud on the drivers site, I would look to the pan-hard rod: it holds the axle to the drivers side of the chassis, and new springs could be making the car stand taller than before.

The only other thought I have is wheels/tyres: what happens if you swap the wheels over [left to right] ?

The front axle on my LSE is lopsided, I've never bothered about it.
