TV 76 and TV 85 TWISTED ??

I looked at a few TV 76 and TV 85 scopes and found an interesting "twist".
Threre are three screws on the black lens / dew shield holder at the front of the scope. (they are spaced around the outside).
There is also a thumbscrew at the back of the scope on top which locks the focus.
Now the twist.
If you look from the top looking down onto the scope, the front screw(s) should be centered and straight with the back screw. (For esthetic reasons). On the scopes I looked at they are slightly out of line. Look at yours, is it in line, or does it look like a slight twist will help?
