Here is a picture of the stock book entry for grip type. Easy to see why the Serialization book is wrong. You can just make out the stamped CPG and written over it is STR.

I can't recall if I've ever noticed a Setter on the left side, and Pointer on the right side.

Remington obviously didn’t have any respect for Parker Bros. tradition… they changed sides for the setter and pointer.
Look at any Parker Repro DHE and you’ll see the reversal. The Parker Repros were based on the Ilion Remington produced guns that Tom Skeuse sent to the Kodensha factory to copy.
