Working on a mower "jackshaft" so they call it but its a spindle. I bought bearings for it and am close to rebuilding that spindle and I see these "Eccentric" looking bearings! I have not put them on the shaft yet to see if they could possibly be true. Ever seen anything like this? Both are like this, the old ones are not. Both new ones are the same with different lot numbers too.
Eccentric Bearings?

Fafnir was American, sold to tecktron and moved production to China then bought by timken, still produced in China
The 4 relief holes is odd to, you only need 1 to install the balls. There is no drilling or boring op for the center, so I’d question if it’s even a forged piece like it should be

It's hard to believe that could make it all the way thru the mfr process without noticing or crashing something.
