I don't know... the TOAF SRStool (same author as TOAF, but a separate module for the Autoliv SRS fitted to later models like mine) gives the facility to toggle sensors on and off; in the case of the pretensioners, it lists the front ones separately.
However, my test confirmed what you'd expect - if the airbag light is on, and the tool indicates a front pretensioner, switching either left or right off kills it.
Who knows - maybe the software author felt it more "correct" to do it this way, or anticipated its use on (maybe non-Rover?) cars with separate wiring, or whatever.
Either way, it's a very useful little tool - when our highly experienced T4 man uses it in preference to T4, it says something...
I didn't even know there were rear pretensioners. Perhaps they don't cause trouble, as there isn't any movement of the seat to disrupt connection
