B737 FMC N1 difference Takeoff Ref - Engine Bleeds Off T/O

B737 Classic (Update 10.6)
Anyone know why you see might a difference in the FMC calculated N1(TAKE OFF REF PAGE, say 89.6/90.6) for left and right engines during an engine bleeds off takeoff? The A/T set the higher N1 setting (correct for the Bleed Off Config).
I can understand why you see a difference on stand with only one pack running, does the FMC not look at the Engine Bleed switch position (Both Engine Bleeds Off – Pack Switches On – Isolation Valve Closed) after configuration for an engine bleeds off take-off?
Engine Bleed valve position seems to be a discreet input into the FMC so why the difference?
