If it was my braking system, I would be verifying things with precision measurements. Your brakes, your call.
If it was your braking system, I expect that you wouldn't have used a torch in the first place. :D
Anyone else share my recollection that one (or both) piston pair(s) in the right caliper are a distinctly different color than pistons in the left one?

Touche.

Although neither did the OP. IIRC, he did it in the second or possibly third place. There was mention of an ultrasonic cleaner and penetrating oil.

But before resorting to heat, I would have tried the old grease gun trick at least. Fabri-cobble an adapter and use a grease gun to pop the stuck pistons out. You do have to clean the grease out afterwards, but then if the piston(s) are that stuck, things probably needed a good clean anyway.
