Moreover, the right handed pilot could use his shoulder blocked on the cockpit wall to maintain his head position during a dogfight. Relocating the visor on one side would hence become natural in a cramped cockpit.
That would also be a strong point for favoring cramped cockpits, always being able to stabilize your body during hard maneuvring.

And afaik the revi was offset to give as much unobstructed view as possible.
