New one's are the same. Inner race is just shallower (3/1000?) than the retainer. A large flat washer(3/4" ID) held flat on the inner race visibly scuffs the lettering on the retainer collar.

They make 18ga spacer bushings that might be more preferable, my home depot only had 1 in stock though. I might try a different store to see if they've got more.

It's just weird to me as every similar bearing like this I've come across commercially has a mounting surface recess machined into the contact surface so as to hit only on the inner/outer bearing surface, but steer well clear by a full 1/8" of the retainer.
