Seat springs

Here is a picture of my front bottom seat springs, notice the offset spring on the driver side. That was that way from the factory, I just sandblasted the rust and rattle canned some paint on it.
Any ideas on why it's offset? The pax side is normal, all lined up. Maybe they were adding a bias for the driver's butt sliding across more often? Anyone else seen that?

I have a 1952 and my seat does not look like that.

Seat construction was different between the Clipper and Packard car lines. The '54 Salesman's Data Book illustrations show the extra coil construction used in the Packard seats but not the Clipper seats.

This is not how the car was supposed to be built

If you take a look at my project blog, there are some pages that show my seats stripped down. That was before I got my current seats from back east.
