2016 Evo Front Wheel Bearing Spacer - Simple Tube?

[mcman56]

Is the front wheel bearing spacer on a 2016 Evo just a simple tube or are there countersinks on the ends.  The pics I see on line look like simple tubes.  Mine has countersinks on the ends that match the inner ring and sort of a bulging ring on the ends of the ID.  Could this be correct?  See pictures.

To pull the front wheel from my Evo for a tire change, I had to use a hammer to get the axle out of the wheel.  I never had to do that on this bike before and there is no corrosion.  The bearings were crunchy feeling but there was no place to use a driver so I had to remove the inner race from one side to drive the bearings out.  These are the original bearings, made in France.  The bearings were greased so not a rusty failure mode.  The spacer still will not slide over the axle from either  direction.  It does not look like the bulges on the ID were machined.  It sort of looks like the countersinks on the ends and the bulges were formed by crushing the spacer but is that even possible?  Strange
