Thanks, Lawrie. I verified what you said with my source (Moss Motors), and
these bearings are not "thrust" bearings. Good to know for future
reference, though!
Thanks,

Hmm, Ken, based on Barney's note yesterday and your comments, it seems I've
been using better quality bearings than are really necessary! Let me correct
my earlier assertion that all caged ball bearings have a thrust side; it
would seem that there a some suppliers that do sell bearings that are
uniform. If yours were the same both sides, then yours would appear to have
been the latter. The ones that have a thrust side are distinguishable by
having one of the outer race "walls" a little taller than the other.
