The Kr has only one global adjustment.

When a camera is made there is a tolerance in accuracy of the AF sensor vs the camera sensor itself. The AF/FA menu can be be used to correct this if it at the extremes. Every lens you mount on the camera is also capable of being in need of adjustment in itself. Indeed my experience shows that the same lens can AF differently depending whether it is focussing from infinity or nearest focus distance. This is more pronounced on the older screw drive AF mechanism.
From your observation it is likely that it is the camera that needs adjustment, not the autofocus lenses.
Now why do your Manual lenses not need this adjustment ? The only suggestion I have is that the green hexagon confirmation has a little bit of leeway. You will find that moving the focus ring a tiny bit after you have confirmation may still lead the camera to tell you the image is in focus. I think this is what you are seeing. Try an experiment by focussing from both extremes (infinity and near) and see if you get different results.

No, the green hexagon takes its signal from the PDAF autofocus system, the same as when auto focussing using the viewfinder. The LV mode uses CDAF system which is entirely separate and does not require any adjustment at all
