If the 37 axle configuration is anything like the later ones I believe the only thing between the backing plate and axle housing would be some thin metal shims if any are needed for end play adjustment.
Note there is an interesting statement in the SM under 37 having non adjustable ball bearings and that is of a spring washer at the same location shims would be for later axles. Did you find anything like that?

Is there supposed to be some type of gasket between the rear backing plates and the axle housing? There wasn't evidence of one when I pulled this apart.
