Neither of my cars (1930 & 1934) have the washer you refer to, the felt seal bears directly against the chamfered edge (which is nice & shiny), all fits together fine and was like it before I got both cars (at separate times).
I have recently put loctite thread lock on the fan screws, I had a problem recently when a screw made a bid for freedom and had an unfortunate encounter with the radiator core... fortunately, a new core was going to be on the cards anyway due to disintegration of the cooling fins (attacked by the salt), forced the issue and meant that I could attend to other matters as well, so turned a negative into a positive!
