Savage No. IV Mk I...extra part after disassembly- help!
Hello again!
Hoping for some guidance (again!) on one of my newly acquired surplus items.
This is a Savage No. IV Mk 1*.
I took it apart, cleaned it and lubed it and reassembled it.
Thought I was good to go...until I noticed this small leather(?) washer on the floor at my feet. I do not recall taking it off during dis/re-assembly.
Looking at the parts schematic...I see three possible matches...but 2 look like steel (#6 and #29) and #5 is NOT called out on this parts diagram. Any help identifying my mystery part would be appreciated.

Also, while I am here...which is the correct to route the sling? With the open portion of the hooks facing the rifle, or facing away?
