Those extra metal washers are for an oil cooler installation, if you have to remove the oil cooler lines from the oil filter cover, then use use them on re-assembly.

The manufacturer probably standardized the kit to included these washers to make it simpler ( cheaper) for them, so they didn't need to have two different seal packages.
