My L48 serial number 52175 has loader with quick hitch.

i'll stick with the assessment of the .... "old timer".
My 2006 OEM L48 TLB loader Q./A looks absolutely NOTHING like your pictures!
You have a DIFFERENT animal!!

The pallet fotks and the SSQA do not line up. How do you explain that? I would suggest the top shoe on one or the other is set at a differemt angle which prevents the pallet forks from rotating into alignment.

I can tell you from experirnce with my loader it takes very little to cauae that. Something as minor as a small pebble can do it.

My explanation is: The Q/A design/fabrication pictured, simply does not appear to be the same as that on my L48 TLB!
I have an OEM bucket, EA forks, and an off brand grapple.
All fit readily/normally!

You asked for my explanation.
Just responding to your question.
No way for me to anticipate the why of your post.

I just took a little golf cart ride to look at my L48TLB quick attach.
My OEM quick attach assembly appears to be totally different from yours.
You mentioned your serial number.
Mine is: 61802, and was apparently purchased in 2006
Is it possible, that mother Kubota, manufactured some early L48 TLB models with different quick attach dimensions, or....... could the previous owner have added a non standard quick attach system as an after market item?

Could you post a picture of the top shoe area of your adapter?
