The original Switchcraft barrel jack should have the thread going all the way along, but many cheap import ones don't, so it sounds like it isn't the original jack. They are complete crap (including the Switchcrafts) so it being replaced at some point wouldn't be unusual.
Why they were thought of as a 'high quality' fitting for higher-end guitars I do not know… they've been notorious for failing for at least thirty years. Unlike a standard open-frame jack it's almost impossible to clean and re-tension the contacts either.

I get the idea about washers, but I can't get my head around how it worked before.
