I would not particularly worry about a 10mm difference in height between the left and right sides of the motor car - I'd say that was near enough for government work on a 50 year old machine. I certainly wouldn't start shimming the springs, but if you are concerned it would not take long at all to check they are seated properly.

Enjoy driving your motor car - stop worrying.

My main concern was the car was lower than it should have been going past the point where shocks and panhard rod needed changing, this now seems to be not the case so I'm happy.
Thanks to all for input,

The 10mm is most likely down to panel positions.

Adding any uneven shims to the springs will throw out your corner weights and cause interesting road holding characteristics
