Got the OSF strut off and it didn't take long to find the problem. The split is normally hidden by the fold of the bag and explains how the suspension would work 'OK' until left, where it would slowly lower.
The strut is easy enough to strip down. A bit trickier to reassemble due to the new seals and relative stiffness of the new air spring. I discovered a potential problem when it was stripped, there was some minor marks on the part of the shock body that forms the air-tight seal. They looked like clamp or vice indentations and I was concerned about potentially damaging the new air seals, so I was able to remove the burrs with just some brown scotchbrite pad, then polishing compound.

With the strut reassembled with the new air spring and fitted back in the RR, the suspension now performs as it should. I even left it on offroad high setting overnight and no hint of having lowered at all in the morning  Cam
