No washers under spar bolt heads

On the project I bought the an3 bolts going through the spar don't have washers under the heads. They do under the nuts, but not the heads. Is this normal?
 
The bolts on my 7 have washers under the bolt heads on the lower close tolerence bolts but under the nuts on the upper bolts.

Don't you have a set of full size drawings? It would show the bolts and the washer stack.
 
In general, the washer goes under the part that you turn, which is usually the nut. If it looks like it gets tightened at that side, and there aren't too many threads showing, indicating the need for more washers, it sounds fine.
