With the GT6, and the Herald, that shim atop the LH front spring -- only on
LH steering cars -- was primarily to compensate for the fact that both driver
and fuel tank would be on the LH side of the car. RH steering versions did not
have any shims in front, nor did Spitfires with their "centrally mounted" fuel
tanks.

Herald engine with wings.

My 72 GT6 has a shim on top of the L front spring for what I presume is the
same purpose.
