NO!!! The axle flange has a small radius to it. That "inside edge" goes 
against the flange.  Squared off portion sits against the bearing.

Little humor... I usually remove the collar (groove then split) myself.
Dropped everything off the the machine shop. Picked up the axles late on
a Friday... and at first didn't realize they forgot the BACKING PLATE!
Whoops!
