A two-bolt-pair "retainer plate" (lock) that was thinner than most lock washers was used early (at least thriugh 1954) stovebolt flywheels, and the bolt had a thinner head than on a "standard" hex head bolt.

This thin-head bolt and star washer produces/results-in a thin profile.

Those two-hole lock-plates were used through at least 1954. After that, the same thin-headed bolt was continued, but it looks like a thin lock washer became the standard bolt-lock.
