cam spacer, cam gear bushing

My brother gave me this web address. Normally I'd ask him, as he lives by ford FE, but he is gone fighting fires this summer.
I helped my Dad pull a 390 out of his 72 ford 4wd truck this weekend. On tare down we noticed it didn't match the tech scetch in the rebuild books we bought.

There was no split cam spacer under the cam sproket and there was a bushing in the cam gear under the fuel pump ecentric that isn't in the diagram.

our new edel. double roller chain matches the old set almost exactly, but doesn't have the bushing in the bolt hole of the cam gear. I can't see that there would be room to use a spacer under the cam gear as the gear is machined with a piece thats fits in next to the cam already.

Do I need to use the old bushing in the original cam gear? Do I need to get a split cam spacer to go between the cam and sproket? Or are the pictures in my Haynes repair manual out of date?

Thanks for the help
