The spacer is there to allow for, and to take up adjustment you need with the original taper bearing type halfshaft bearings (adjusted on the RH side - the halfshafts 'pushing' on each side of the spacer).

Green bearings are roller bearing type and are sealed with no adjustment required, so the spacer is not needed. They are installed so the outer circlip is against the axle casing and kept there when the mounting ring is bolted down.

HTH!
