Twisted / Misaligned Fork Legs

So the front end of my 80s steel Fauxnago track frame has always seemed a bit off somehow, and today I finally worked out why. The fork legs appear to have different rakes. With the stem aligned with the front wheel so that both point straight ahead, the fork crown is turned off to one side slightly. It doesn't look like crash damage, just poor workmanship.

Can I just put the fork in a vice and nudge it back into alignment? Which fork leg should I take as the correct one to bend the other one to match? Should I bother doing anything?

In the photo you can just see that the right track nut is further forward than the left. Excuse the confusing aerobar pads, it's been doubling as a fixed TT bike.

looks fine to me.
if you can ride it no handed it's straight enough.

I don't think you can tell much from this photograph. The best way would be to take the fork out and lay it on a flat surface.

Had some slightly sideways tweaked road forks similar (brazed crown?). Made up some wooden vice blocks for steerer by drilling / slicing then lining with inner tube.
Used big pipe over wrapped blades and then proper dropout alignment tools to improve things, but due to bentness had to compromise; brake hole & wheel straight enough.

If bending I would do both blades, biggest faff is stopping steerer twisting. Could bodge dropout alignment with threaded rod. Maybe make vice block to fit upper crown too?

The forks I had were crashed. If they were like yours from the jig and are 'straight' I would just ride them. You wont make them look better or be stronger, and will probably have to file a dropout.
