Why are the shackles of port side anchor and starboard side anchor unequal in length?

In eighteenth and nineteenth century sailing ships, the bower anchors themselves were sometimes of different design and weight. I think it was customary in the northern latitudes to drop the starboard anchor first as the wind is more likely to veer than to back and if two anchors were deployed then less likely to foul each other. At present I am studying anchors as an aid to shipwreck identification, the whole subject is fascinating and not well known.
