  Ian,

One set of washers is needed as a spacer - so just do it the easy way - 
when you mount the standoffs onto whichever board they are mounted to 
first, put the washers between the board and the standoff.  When you put 
the second board on the other end of the standoffs, put the lockwasher 
under the screwhead.

Now when you remove the screws from the standoffs, always remove the 
screw with the washer under the head - it is a bear to align the washer 
between the standoff and the board if the standoff is mounted at the 
other end.

Normally I'd think it wasnt that important and the washers are just used as spacers, but in case the space is tight when putting it all together which is right, the text or the picture?
