What you may have is some dirt or such like on the valve seat. The screw is on the end of the metering valve and if something's on the valve seat then you'll lose some clicks. ie you'll never bottom it and so rather than starting from "1", you'll be on "6". Counting out you'll then get an odd number.........
I doubt you've got mismatched forks.

I screwed both adjusters fully "in" (clockwise turn of screw), then turned the adjuster anticlockwise until it would go no further - whilst counting the "clicks".
I didn't want to force the adjuster due to risk of breaking something!
When you sy there may be some dirt on the valvle seat, do you mean externally or internal to the fork?
The forks have polished bottoms and anodised stanchions and appear to have been refinished at the same time. I will do a bit more investigation later.
