It's the opposite

The ones looking like big washers are useless. The other 2 are to block the 2 ports you won't use

ya I never ever could find a reason to use those washers. anyone?

The ones that are like big washers are only used when the thread on your fitting is too long and impedes the flow a bit. It spaces the fitting an additional 1.5 -2mm away from the block, they are not used very often any more. It was more for some of the barb fittings that had a really long thread.

I think those spacers are legacy part. I remember some old Swiftech barbs that has whole 8 or 9 mm long threading, now everybody standardized on 5mm

Yes you are right, I posted the wrong link for each, but basically the second pic is to block passage and the first is I guess the un-used / legacy part as Daz mentioned.
