SF (1970/1) Steering damper

[Smartv11]

Attached pic shows how the bike was, with a disc / washer separating the dimpled 'U' collar from the dimpled hex nut.

I could see this separated the dimples from meeting, and have not seen any photos from the net showing similar. I have reassembled without the disc / washer, but wondered if this arrangement is familiar to anyone?

That washer shouldn't be there unless something is missing elsewhere.
