Thanks for the diagram, there are 2 sets of shims, drive side (20 in the diagram) and stub end (22 in the diagram) and they are different diameters with the drive side being larger diameter. I have only mixed up the stub end ones., which are the ones that come in 2 sizes, 0.2 and 0.5mm thick.
I shall build them up with the stub end shims installed but without the cam bearing gasket in place and torque them down and see if there is any binding. If there is no inding I will install the gaskets and the job will be done. If there is binding I will have to swap them round to get the shims in the right /original place.
Either way it is not really a problem, I just found it interesting that Ducati should design in superfluous components.
