Sometimes cartridges just do that. The cantilever or suspension might have shifted during use. There might have been some residual stresses when it was assembled that relaxed. Some glue might have been unevenly applied or something like that.
But, looking at the cantilever, it's skewed to the left. Meaning it's actually skewed to the right once mounted. If it's anti-skate related, then it's due to too _little_ anti-skate (the arm was pulled inward and the cantilever forced to deflect outward). In this case turning off anti-skate won't help.
A much better indicator would be the wear spots, though.

As I posted above, given the compliance (or lack thereof) in the 103R, It would be very unlikely that too little anti-skate could do that. Shifting during use is much more likely. You could check wear to confirm this but I think the wear pattern will tell you it was not anti-skate.

A little more anti- skating force might center the cantilever in time. If you decide to buy another one, buy the 103; it sounds better than the 103r and I own both.

Yes! My conclusion as well!
Perhaps the stylus got snagged and was bent outward. Perhaps the situation has nothing to do with antiskating or skating force.
Just a thought!
It just seemed to happen gradually. Or so I thought.
