Yes that's exactly this which confuse me. Even when I look I don't see really an asymmetry. But anyway it looks kind a bizarre. That's why I came here.

Another image would help. It still looks a bit unsymetrical to me.

It seems the scales are warped somewhat. It may have a slightly warped tang?
Seems there was a thread recently which mirrors this one?"Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.

I would say wedge. Wasn't the older blades done by hand. with that in mind they wouldn't be exactly alike. couldn't they be off by a few thousands.

Ummmm, holding a straight edge against the blade will give you your answer. Gap on both sides or not ?
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

Personally, Judging by the overall fit and finish of that razor, I would go with Microtome.
Not ALL microtomes follow the asymmetrical grind pattern.
There is no reason not to think that a microtome wedge grind might not have a shallow to it.
For those interested, the info page that graphic comes from is here...

My guess is near wedge. I looks to have a slight hollow on both sides. One way to find out is to give it a couple laps on a finishing stone and see where the stone marks. Edge and spine on both sides near wedge.
