Fork Stanchion Bend

I’m afraid to say not even our latest Queensferry Bridge across the Firth of Forth was built with British steel, probably the case for the newer generation aircraft carriers QE & POW too, sadly from the far east most likely?

UK Shipbuilding steel is French, from what I've heard

I've seen V-blocks leave flats on stanchions.
Anything less than 100% straight and round will increase stiction, and I wouldn't even consider re-using tubes which have been through the stress of a bending/straightening cycle.
Replace, every time.

I would never use v blocks to straighten stanchions
I only use them to check straitness
I'm surprised that anyone would even attempt that tbh
 
When I had the problem with staunchions, it was on a Japanese bike, so I simply went to the wreckers and bought a complete front end including disc brake - CHEAP.
