You might be able to see the slotted or hex keyed heads of the offset dowel pins through the bellhousing casting where it meets the block.

Really!!
Sounds like crap quality control and/or processes on the part of the bellhousing manufacturer.....
Sufficiently prevalent that someone has gone into production with offset dowells to correct poor manufacturing processes? And having to dial them in is accepted as standard practice!
Why not just build them right to start with? That's what we would do in NZ. Given that scenario and ethos, no wonder we sometimes have issues with overseas sourced parts......
I would always check a part, but I would be (am) highly pissed at having to do corrective surgery after I have paid good dollars for a faulty part! You guys accept it as the norm. No wonder you have problems!
