This is what the dropouts for these bikes looked like:



These "OCLV" frames were assembled out of pressure molded components in a jig. All that has to happen to get a bike like the OP's is for the assembly worker to not seat the right dropout fully into the jig, since all the joints are overlapping tapered slip fits rather than squarely butted. The right dropout is only off by less than 2mm.
