Apparently my 57 Cdn Std has a slightly bigger spindle, does that make sense?

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.


The one on the left is the new replacement, the middle one is off the car, the one on the right is for a bus.

I want to replace the lock washers and thrust washers. I have obtained the new ones from TWO seperate vedors to compare. Each vendor gave me the exact same ones...that are too small.

I was also given axle nuts, they appear to be the right diameter but the thread is much thinner on the "newer" nut and as a result don't work. An yes I'm aware of the reverse threads.
