1956 Window lift assembly

Labor Day greetings,
I am using this weekend to finally straighten out some electric door lock / window issues on the '56 Patrician. The windows have been monkeyed with long before I got my chance to monkey with them so I thought that this was a perfect time to "do the job right" if it hadn't been done so in the past.
My primary concern is with the assembly of the Window Glass Lifter assy (Group 30.382) to the Window Regulator Assy (Group 30.386) - for the front doors, but the same is an issue for the rear.

As the windows are currently assembled, the stud on the regulator assembly goes through the slot on the window lifter. Next there is a rather thick leather washer, followed by the steel washer and then the retaining clip. This seems to put a "snug" amount of pressure on the whole assembly with the clip attached, but does not bind. I have no way of knowing if this is the way the factory did it.

After consulting the parts book for parts identification I am confused by the listed quantity for the attaching hardware.

Under Group #30.86 (front window), for model 5682 lists:
Part # 425038 - Washer, Leather. to lifter - quantity 4
Part # 380104 - Washer, Steel, to lifter - quantity 2
Part # 376038 - Retainer, Spring wire, to lifter - quantity 2

Is there an error in the quantity of each listed part per window? If not, what is the correct assembly order for the attaching parts, or did I get the order correct?

Thanks very much in advance for any assistance.
Have a safe Labor Day
