Would this be due to its closer proximately to the master cylinder? Or could it be due to a sticky caliper? Or even just due to more wear from braking into a left or right turn?

Interested to know...

Thickness of "worn" pads versus pad with "meat"? If it was my car and the difference was a country mile I'd lean towards a sticky caliper, won't hurt to get them off for a clean/overhaul.
