Rolex presidential spring bars. Shoulder space only on one side

I tried removing the spring bar on my presidential bracelet only to find each spring bar only has shoulder space to remove on one side.

Is it possible that these springbars were meant for a lug holes case and fit to a no holes case (and could that cause that cause the .5mm endlink gap issue described in an earlier post?).

The bars look similar to these and the watch is below. Tough to see but there is space on the far side and the near side is flush with no gap or shoulder to push from.

Is it possible there it just some dirt inside the near side lug hole?

Dont know. I brouht it to L&B, which is my fav ad! in and there was no comment other than the springbars are ok. Somewhat torn. Love the watch considering holding on to it until an RSC service, or do you think I should flip?

I've seen those in gold, believe they are not Rolex but aftermarket
