1978 KZ1000B2 LTD Shifter Shaft Seals

Today 07:29 - Today 07:31

I removed the sprocket cover when addressing an oil leak from the stator cover. Looking at the shifter shaft seals, it appears that there is a sleeve or bushing in the shifter shaft seals in the sprocket cover (see pics below). None of the parts breakdowns that I have seen show this. Has anyone encountered something like this before? Thanks for any information you can provide.

There is no sleeve as stock in the sprocket cover.
Just a metal clad seal set in a wider recess at each end of the hole machined in the aluminium cover.
