I think you are confusing the two. The thrust plate in the above posted pictures is broken, it is not symetrical and was installed wrong.
No confussion. I did however, call it a "plate" rather than "washer" in my post, my apologies. My discription and points are correct.

The way I learned and remember which way the taper on that thrust plate and the CAS drive gear is oriented, is to assume it was put there to make it easier to install the part on to the e-shaft. All the parts slide on to the e-shaft taper first.

The rotors look like they're toasted.
the taper on the thrust bearing is critical as you can see by this thread, the taper on the worm gear(or CAS drive gear) is only used to drive the oil metering pump and isn't critical for an FD, on an FC it messes with the CAS position in the front cover making it a little more difficult to set the base timing for the first startup.

the taper is really there to clear the beveled edge on the eccentric shaft, if the e-shaft had a square cut it would affect the stress on the shaft at that point.
