Add the differing Tires widths, offsets, pressures (not to mention Anti-Roll Bars and differing Spring Rates F/R) and you have a car which absolutely understeers naturally - it simply MUST!

This is where I disagree. I can build you a car with positive camber up front and negative camber in the rear, wider tires in the rear, stiffer front springs and STILL make that car oversteer in a steady state. It's just not as simple as you're making it out to be.
I think you understand what I'm saying and I understand your overall point about having a car that will have the front end lose traction before the rear in a steady state around a constant-radius corner. I guess that just isn't very useful information to have.
