I just removed some calipers from a parts car. One side had shims and the
other did not. I recall finding shims on another car from which I removed
calipers. I don't know if they are factory or not, but they were necessary to
center the calipers.

Some calipers are different widths and don't need spacers, while others do.
I ran into the same thing when I installed new calipers on my '66. Check out
hardware stores for the right size shim washers, and they do go on the two
large bolts. I made my own washers on a grinder and mic'd them to fit.
