All I can contribute is that the switch looks like this when ordered:
And yes, the washer is about 2mm thick.

I'd like to know because I'll be clutch shopping soon and Jim is where I would like to get the clutch from. Also I might have missed it but what exactly was the the problem with the centre diff? Wrong VIN or USDM/ADM/JDM differences that caused the mix up?

I have experienced diff binding in my old wagon (4EAT) where the centre diff would bind due to a faulty valve solenoid. It would bind and you would feel the wheels locking up and when doing tight low speed turns you could hear and feel the wheels spinning, especially in gravel.
It makes me wonder whether a symptom I am having on my Gen4 could be the early signs of this. I don't feel any wheel binding as such but do get a rotational clunking feeling at low speed cornering but it feels to be coming from the front left more and I think it is only ever the outside wheel. I had been thinking this related to a bilstein knock. I only feel it at low speeds and it isn't a clicking like a CV, more rotational clunk/flapping sound if that makes sense. I will have to pay more attention and see if it does it when the oil is cool but the first time I noticed it was after a drive up to Montville in the mountains so would have been quite warm.
My car also has a full service history and to my knowledge only ever had tyres replaced as a set from factory.

I am preparing to start a diff rebuilding operation that would be beneficial to all forum members.
Cheers!
