Seals on the problematic caliper that I removed look square. When fitted they do have a ridge which sits slightly proud on the inside. This made me think it was the wrong way around, so I flipped it and the ridge is still on the inside. Something to do with the seal recess? The seal definitely looks square when removed. I've cleaned the inside of the caliper and seal recesses when I fitted the new seals and piston a few months ago.
