So, why did Remington put that tighter choke in their Parker Skeet Guns?

Typically, a shooter was used to shooting the open choked right barrel / front trigger in a game shooting situation first...
In Skeet shooting the first target was the outgoer (Skeet-1) and so as to not confuse the shooter, the right barrel, fired first with the forward trigger, had the tighter(Skeet-1) choke and the rear trigger/left barrel had the more open choke for the incomer.
I know this contradicts your earlier post of how Skeet was originally shot, but it's the only explanation that makes any sense to me.
