If memory serves, I seem to recall some that were off center on the bottom, but not on top. The hole was drilled at an angle to match the angle of the balance pin, with the surface contacting the key being centered. I remember having to be careful to not rotate the fulcrum 180 degrees so the base does not lie flat on the balance rail. I believe they also marked the front edge to make it more obvious if they are reverse. It may be that they changed this at some point, since the replacement fulcrums do not have this angle.
