I’m not sure I have an answer for that, but maybe you can use the disposition resource page I linked to run some of your own experiments. For example, make your own stereo recording of a statement such as “this is the left channel” with the right mic turned off. Then use the disposition instructions to move and/or copy it to the channel of your choice, then audition the results. If you want, and have the necessary equipment, you should be able to reassign any existing audio channel to any other.
