Anyone seen these locking D35/D44 spindle nuts?

I'm using Jeep Warn hubs. I don't remember which nuts were which... I had a bin full of them. I can pull my wheel off and look, but I do recall having some that were thicker than others. I believe it was the parts store Dorman ones that were too thick, so I got some originals from a junkyard.

How did you manage to wreck a washer like that???
Thanks for the info, that explains why mine didn't clear. I think I have another idea to upgrade the locknut setup similar to that warn discontinued setup - so it's not too urgent to see how yours was set up, but thank you for the help! If my idea works out, I will share it here as well

The thick inner nuts are super handy if you have a questionable spindle where the washer has spun and trashed the keyway and threads... it moves the contact area of the tab on the washer outwards and allows you to continue using the spindle.
