Default 8ba Cylinder sleeves

Hi,
I have an 8ba block, 4 cyliders of which have been sleeved.
All four are on the same side. Has anyone come across with
similar cases?
I have the diameter specs of each cylinder, and double-checking the measures I realized that .080 for this block is just what has to be done if it will be done.
Have these 49-53 blocks ever been sleeved from the factory. I'm just
wondering if there were imperfect blocks that were repaired this way on
Henry's plants.
Anyway, was there any standard wall thickness used on sleeves? Just asking this as it's hard to get a strict measure of the sleeve thickness to evaluate if boring can be carried out aiming to use those .080 pistons I already have.
