Separate question ill ad pics to illustrate the point but im having issues with the front forks. is the supposed to be and angle on the top by the clamps. I have 2 pairs of 72 forks all seemingly good condition apart from 1 is a little rusty. all of them have the same angle. when i put them on the front forks separate to the point they have to be pulled in to meet the wheel. Something is definitely not right. None appear damaged and all the bends measure the same. Or is it correct and the forks just need to be swiveled in the clamp so that the angles of both sides match and in theory close the gap (note i haven't tried that)
The later style forks and wheels i used to start with didn't have this issue but all my early forks have the same bend to the milometer
the i rotate the fork 180deg

the only "bend" is the bit by the clamps but all of the early model forks i have are the same. it made me question if it was meant to be there.

The forks have many different diameters and taper sections but they should not be bent.

Take a look at my thread from a few years ago for disassembly.
