I'm not sure of the reason for that but perhaps it allows for flexing without the edges of the rollers digging into the outer race. Anyhow I couldn't find those and replaced it with a standard tapered roller. Nothing bad has happened other than seal replacement about 15 years later.
To loosen the snapring, knock the cup that is behind it a couple of times with a hammer and punch to get it away from the snapring. Don't hit the snapring.
