It will take me some time to sort through the my survey records for a definitive answer, but based on memory, there were at least a handful of them with a cheekpiece on the RH side of the butt stock. I will update this post once I have an accurate total.
Update: A cursory scan through my survey records shows that I have a total of (575) Schuetzen Rifles documented, and of that number just (4) letter with a left-handed cheek piece. What is the serial number on the rifle you are asking about?

Henry,
WOW!
That’s one heck of a confirmed configuration on that Letter! It’s pretty neat to see all that’s included on the letter like you have, and confirming the configuration, that you own!
With Bert, checking out those survey information numbers and verifying, confirming the left handed cheek piece, it is pretty interesting to see, exactly how rare that configuration is that you have! 
Thanks for sharing!

Henry’s Schuetzen Rifle is the 4th confirmed rifle with a left-hand cheek piece stock. I am sure that at least a few more of them were made, I simply have not yet found them all in the records. Currently, I have (575) Schuetzen Rifles documented. I suspect that the total number was something close to (600).
I will add that the ledger record entry (and CFM letter) are very typical of how Winchester documented the Schuetzen rifles.
