I maybe overthinking things but whilst platigauging the crank shells, I noticed that the shells sit everso slightly proud of the half bore. As an experiment, I used a little plastigauge on the mating surface next to where the crank shells fit. Torqued down (without the crank) and then revealed the result.
What would you expect to find?

Was that meant to be 0.0 ?

I'd imagine a gap at the bottom as the crank pushes the shell into the casing, hence why they stand ever so slightly tall.

Do you mean a small gap between the 2 small mating surfaces next to the shell housing?

No I'd imagine right at the bottom of the half circle, where the oil hole is.

The shells are always slightly proud and turn circular when casings clamped
