which rear brake scenario is most likely?

The wives 95 9000CSE (280K miles) had some grinding in the back brakes. I took them off tonight to find she was quite right.
The left rear was metal to metal while the right rear was about 80% intact!
We are struggling to find my records but both believe I did these last on the car (and we are known for 70K between front brake jobs alone), so our recollection is that it's premature and only a year or two old. I figure rears last me 100K on average.
The right rear appears to be engaging and doing as it should. My inital though was the right rear (80% pad left) may not be operating but upon greater reflection it seems as the left rear may not be retracting (thus dragging) and wearing quicker?
She has no recollection of the smell of brakes from a dragging caliper, although I'm not sure she would have noticed anyways.
Which caliper is to blame from extreme uneven wear?
If this car was a bit newer and money was not as tight I would replace everything (rear parts are cheap these days!) but I'm looking to only replace that which I need.
