It's not exactly asymmetric, but AiResearch's B-26 testbed for the TPE331 with the turboprop mounted in the nose was different.  The Falcon 20 they used for testing the TFE1042 for the Chung-Kuo looks different with the afterburning engine, in special nacelle, on one side.

That's their second one, made from an Invader that had gone through a conversion to a business aircraft (On Mark Marksman without the tiptanks, perhaps?).  Their first one was simply a de-mil'd Invader.

You probably know that the Gulfstream Peregrine was the first single-jet bizjet, but do you know the single-jet airliner? Boeing 747S (my son's 747, repaired...)

Please thank your son for me, mon ami. His work brings a smile to my face!

Can you imagine what his model-building will look like in a few more years?

Already, I am wishing I had his unique perspective and creativity!

Thanks Brian.
Well, the 1/200 Boeing 747 of Jacky has turned to 747G Gliderliner (or 747R Rocketliner?):

After Mummy Emelyn repaired (with the parts she found), the 747 turned back to normal again: 3-jet asymmetric...

The little creator with his 747, big and small, both asymmetric of course:
