Guess I'll have to take a close like as you suggest. But I've never had a problem, and I've built a few of these and used left ones on the right side.

Also I seem to recall both the hard brake line and the bleed nipple being roughly the same shape and angle on the end.

Sounds like you have more experience on this subject than me since I've only done one, mine.
That makes me wonder whether somebody seriously overtorqued either one of the fittings on the used left caliper I bought. That may have resulted in the deformation of the seat. Since the bleed nipple is solid steel while the brake line is a compression fitting they may have left different witness marks.

Yeah, I've done five or six of them over the years. The first one was my R90 back in 94. I totally forgot to check out one of the spare calipers, but I suspect your suspicion may be true.
