Stuart12041 says: I do not think that Super Eights and Twelves had this arrangement but cannot be sure.
The prewar Senior cars from the onset of the Angelset (hypoid) rear axle up thru at least 1937 (not sure of the 38-39 Super 8 and 39 Twelve) did not use a thrust block or spacer but rather used a set of two, opposed-facing tapered roller bearings on each axle end to set and limit axle movement. Axle shaft free play on them is set by adding/subracting shims behind the inside race, doing each axle shaft individually (when doing end play on axles with a thrust or spacer block, they are set as a pair).
