Left/right pairs from both rovers and both sources (JPL and Exploratoriun) shows a systematic difference of jpeg files dimension in favour of right version (tipically 5% on NavCam/PanCam pairs). See example.
Moreover, you If you look carefully to images, you will find, there is a clear difference in terms of fine details:

I do not know if this strange issue is due to different jpeg compression ratio on the server or is more serious (lens difference? extremely improbable!).
Other explainations??? (Maybe people often dowloading .img uncompressed images can answer... rolleyes.gif )

I noticed this from the very first Sols, but apparently no one highlighted it here and most people continue to use left images to make stitch or other considerations... viceversa, I reccomend to use always right version, when possible!!!

Is the same true of the RAD's out of the PDS?

Might be interesting to do a comparison of the JPG, and then all the various PDS products, for left and right of one observation.
