at the bottom of the bottom rubber mount yet in that same space for the top
mount, there is located a large diameter steel washer. Whereas the large
diameter washer at the bottom is below the level of that same space, meaning
top and bottom steel washers must have different diameter centre holes.

Suffice to say there is in place only a bottom rubber mount between the diff
case flange and the main steel plate the whole thing fastens down to. The thing
is, when looking at that bottom rubber mount, there doesn't show the gap that
you speak of, which then suggests that gap part must fit into a recess shaping
in the bottom support plate. Yet when you eyeball the underside of that same
support plate, there is no recess (or on this side it should show as a bulge
down) showing. Only way to tell what's going on is to dismantle it all and see
what's what.

that speed.I am looking into replacing the mounts still though.
