Your insight on alignment data/chart correctness !

I took my NG900('97 SE) to get an alignment done as I noticed
all tires had excessive inner tread wear so I thought that was
the right thing to do before fitting new tires on.
$104 later here is the chart that the dealer provided me.
They told me that the rear were in spec and nothing was done to adjust/recalibrate. What caught my attention was that the numbers between left and right do not match after the alignment is that Ok after an alignment job or do they absolutely have to match before the car is given back to the customer. The car pulls a little more to the left than to the right and as this is my first NG900 I don't know about steering wheel vibration and what speed it becomes natural to happen.
Here's the report I got back from the Saab dealership, thanks.
