Grant,
That sounds right to me - this arrangement makes sure that the spring itself
is tight down onto the diff. If the plate went down flush onto the diff,
then the bolt load would not all be transferred through the spring leaf, and
there is the possibility of the spring leaf moving slightly.
I also remember it looking like this when I replaced my rear spring.
