These types of problems can sometimes be solved, or at least minimised, with 
the use of MS 
processing. Pass the LR signal through an MS encoder, EQ the M and/or S to 
match each 
other as closely as possible, then decode back to LR.

It may not produce a perfect result (depends on the size of the mic's on-axis 
'hot spot' and 
the angle and spacing between them), but it has saved my butt on a couple of 
occasions...
