OK, by looking at Renovated radio comments I realized that the large ones are spacers and they were on the shafts for a reason - they indeed go around volume and tone control (in my case probably around Power switch and tone control) to keep the chassis from bumping against the front panel.

If they are put over the two metal posts on the sides you referred to, they will not touch anything - they are too high up from the support bars or from the front panel if put at the front posts.

So, two down.....some more to go.
