I would have the engineer compare the tape to the record. If the record is the benchmark he should be able to tell if the channel balance is off. You should have a calibrated turntable to do this.

I assume there were no tones on the tape. If the tape was obviously pulling to one side it's an easy enough fix. It should be done on at the transfer stage to keep the noise floor similar on both channels.
