I do not think this is the case. Just have a better look, and you will see that the centre of gravity is roughly ~10cm off the centre (towards the DEC axle, away from polar finder).
This is the reason why some people (including myself) recommend changing the position of that pin, so that one leg could be under the counterweight.
EDIT: You will also have easier access to polarfinder.
