Odd that dished but an inner at rear may have had claw puller applied etc. Anything is possible over the ages. I have not compared a myriad hubs but there may be a considerable variation in depth, and some assembled with no gasket so the flange distorted. Some flanges may have been skimmed reducing the depth.
The flange has to seal the grease, clamp the bearing, ensure the drum and wheel run true. If all that is acheived despite some dish, fine. Silicone sealant sorts many sealing problems. Shims can be cut to pack bearing rings.
