also would seem easier to clear the hub when removing axles to first remove diff mount so it can be raised to maximum -- since it has to come off anyway

You lucked out to find spacers that fit as is. One of our other Members had to have them surface ground to size when he used aftermarket Axles.
Note surface grinding is not a big deal as they throw the item on a electro magnetic plate/table and that holds it while the grinder does the job.
I have a milling machine at home which would work on non-hardened stuff but no magnetic plate/chuck. When I needed to do something that I could not clamp I epoxied it down and tool thin cuts so as not to rip the item off or heat it enough to un-bond the epoxy.
