i assume that 2.5 makes the track panned to the centre the same perceived level as the same thing panned left or right?

It's not about making something "the same", it's how you want a signal to sound as it's panned across the sound field. e.g. making the level decrease as it pans hard one way can appear to make it seem more distant/wider.
Oh right, that was not an option way back then, it was a 2.5dB pan law. There are really good articles online online explaining this, and lots of past debate on DUC and elsewhere what it means, if it matters for particular workflows, and if it does what law is best. It's a debate best had while consuming beer.
