The hub with a groove for an O-ring is off a BT7 or later. You need the spacer 
to be able to squeeze the bearing inside the hub, so that it doesn't spin. The 
bearing/spacer combination should be slightly larger than the space for it 
inside the hub, can't remember exactly but it's a question of a few thou. Check 
the workshop manual. I can't envisage that you get any problem by mixing these 
to hubs.
