If the former, this implies either an enantiomerically pure source of
monomers, or a prebiotic polymerisation process that selected only one
form. You suggest "specific catalysts [which] produce chirally specific
reactions", but what reactions exactly, in what prebiotically plausible
situation, and with what necessary amounts of material and time?

If the latter, this would involve the complete substitution of L for R
units and/or removal of R units. But this would change the structure of
say a protein and erase its evolved function. This alone rules out this
option.

I'm disinclined to answer your question as posed becomes it comes so
soon after a long post the per-emptively answered it. If you didn't
bother with or understand the answer previously given, you'll just
disregard it if given again.
