1. The scarring isn't on the wrong isde of his face. Asamiya drew it correctly. However, Japanese is read right-to-left, not left-to-right as it is in the Western world. Asamiya was drawing the book for publication in a Japanese manga magazine before it would be published as an English graphic novel. When the art was reversed in order for it to be read and translated as an English-language book, Two-Face's scar got reversed as well. It wasn't a tip-off that the guy was a fake, it was an accident of the translation. So, for that matter, was the Penguin's monocle being in his left eye instead of his right.

2. The whole point of Batman not realizing why Two-Face was a fake was that nobody knew about the usage of Fanatic or the upgraded version that was being used to create the fakes.
