F! Frame question.

I have a 1951 F1. The frame is up on stands, and level, front to back and side to side. When I put a straight edge on the outside rear of the frame, approximately where the axle bumpers would be, it tells me the frame kicks inward at the top by about quarter inch, both sides.
Question.....Was the frame made like this, or has it had a heavy load dumped into the box from a great height?
Thanks for all responses.
Geoff.

The "official" drawing doesn't show that, and looking at mine I don't see any changes in that area. Not sure I'd be concerned tho.

ALBUQ F1 Thanks for your answer.
I don't think that I'll worry too much over it.
