Just found out a bit more about this.

The sleeve was there on some models as a mesure to prevent the alloy splitting or deforming when the bearing was inserted (from the bottom up on these ones)

The washer seems to come in both bush or no-bush variants, and is a simple dust/grass/debris cover for the bearing, to prevent grass, plastic or rope making it into theactual bearing.

It seems the non-bush, and bush type dust washers are interchangeable.


Cheers
Ty
