Default Backing plate lock washers?

I've assembled several backing plates in the past, but none of them had lock washers.

I just found a set of backing plate bolts which includes lock washers.

Has anyone ever seen these before?
Unfortunately, I only have one set.

They are thinner than a normal lock washer.
See picture.

Neil
My Oct '28 parts list mentions only 2 long and 2 short bolts with castle nuts and cotters, no lock washers.

Lock washers and castle nuts would be redundant. Henry pinched every penny. I doubt this double locking would fly with him.

The narrower ones are probably for socket head bolts.

Thank you for good information.

However, I remember installing the bolts, castle nuts, and cotter pins before and having to bend the cotter pins to fit in the castle nut holes.

If a lock washer or even a solid washer was used before the nut, bending the cotter pin to fit in the castle nut holes would not be necessary.

Please comment.
