If your oil filter's in the original position (can't recall?) I think the driver's side is where the height of the engine is most critical. Too low and the filter touches the chassis member, too high and it hits the steering column. So I'm guessing this is an attempt to restore the height of the engine on the driver's side to roughly where it was before the TR6 mounts were fitted, but the near side isn't so critical so it was left a bit lop-sided. Needless to say that's not a very appealing engineering solution!
Let's compare notes at the breakfast meet tomorrow. I think it's either stick with the original-type Zephyr mounts, or use TR6 mounts along with modified brackets (both sides) to suit.
