I suspect the mics' polar patterns weren't of the finest.

"Polar patterns"? They were probably omnis. (And, yes, I know that omnis
don't necessarily have the same on- and off-axis responses.)



Omnis? This is THE Mr. Blumlein we are talking about here, you know.

Yes, but in addition to devising the Blumlein technique of stereo recording
(figure-8 mics, vertically coincident, angled at 90 degrees), he also
investigated recording with spaced omnis.
