VINDICATION!!!!

Well...maybe. The pic GTX provided does look pretty definitive but take a look at the image below. There's no way you'll convince me that the canopy on this airframe is in the same position as that in GTX's pic:



I think there were likely at least a couple of different variants. Note that GTX's commentary refers to the pilot and nagivator being in a canopy offset to port whereas in the above image, the canopy and fairing were probably just for the pilot.

So...my assessment is that "it depends" on which variant you're looking at.
 
I agree. the first prototype of the He-70a series had the canopy offset while the later ones didn't. It can be noticed nicely in the pics of the V1 ( code D-3 later D-2537 ) aircraft. It seems that the offset for the cockpit hood was used to the D variant. The E and later versions got the symmetric cockpit hood.









the B/C variant ...


the D variant ...













the E/F variant ...





the G variant ...








the later variant seen from the back ... both the civilian and military plane.
