Then there's something weird about this test engine. Since the oil is supplied 
to the left side first there should be more oil there, if there is any 
difference at all.

The difference could certainly be something as simple as an air tight valve 
cover on the left and one with a bit of an air leak on the right. Or worn valve 
guides on the right. To fill that volume up with oil you have to displace the 
air that's there.
