Default Unequal winghalfs

I have recently come across my third Old timer plan which has unequal length wing halves. The right wing is about 33 inchs and the left half is a good 5/8 inch less.

As mentioned, this is not the first time, but the third time now. All having to do with Pre-WW2 designs for Free Flight. Most of the Pre-WW2 designs I have come across have wings panels of equal halfs.

Any thought here as to if this prevalent to the era, to avoid installing engine offset or thrust?
