Big surprise while bleeding brakes- different front calipers

Bled my w124 1988 300ce brakes yesterday (car was bought used 5 years ago). The right front was, as expected, the single piston floating caliper where the part holding the piston unbolts and swings up. However, I discovered the left front was a fixed single piston unit with the two pins and the spring clip, like the rear brakes. Obviously, my car's front brakes are no longer the way mb intended. Although vehicle stops well, since most braking power comes from the front brakes should I replace the front left caliper and return to the stock setup? Thanks.
