First, please correct me if I am wrong.

When our eyes focus on a close object I believe their focus converges on the object. This would be the same as if when taking a stereo image of a close object the object is centered in the first photo and when the camera is moved to the second photo the object is re-centered by panning the camera. Would keeping the object centered in both left and right photos correct for the mis-centering of the resulting images? I can do this with a DSLR and you might not be able to do this with a fixed duo-lens stereo camera.

Here are two of my side-by-side images. Please ignore the subject, they were just quick tests in my garage.

The first is with no panning. The second is with panning to keep the red portion of the drill centered for both left and right photos.

No Panning

With panning to keep object centered

No image processing done from RAW 36MP images except down sizing and converting to jpg. The uploaded files are in AdobeRGB so the color profile does not match the DPR use of sRGB so colors looked washed out.
