Post 206L fins

Does anyone know the official Bell explanation for the horizontal stabilizer on a Longranger extending out further on one side than the other and for the fins on the end of the stab being offset opposite to the vertical fin orientation. My guess is to help direct airflow onto the vertical fin to increase it's efficiency. I'm sure all the aerodynamicists I read here will have theories as well and whilst I will be interested to hearing them I would like to know the Bell story in particular.
