Ok, here is the deal.
I put on my even stronger close up reading glasses. Hate that. Poked around in there some more. The place where the wire retaining clip was seating did not look deep enough for that clip. I pried the dust seal up off the left fork that is still on the bike. Was afraid to do that before as I wondered if I could get it back on. The oil seal did indeed look as deep down in there as I recalled. Deeper than the right fork that I am working on. And the retaining clip did not protrude into the area where the dust seal seats.
The top of the oil seal is 1/4" or 6.35mm below the top of the slider. The top of the oil seal on the right fork is higher.
Slightly more than 1/32" or 0.7950+ mm. Maybe 1.19mm. Whatever.
There is a 'false lip' near top of slider that the clip sat in. Right on top of the too high seal. Where you would expect a retaining clip to be.

I am disgusted. Still can not figure out why oil seal sits to high. I have pounded it down several times.
The washer below the seal is a flat washer.
WTF?
Oh, yeah, I should not have been afraid. I pushed the dust seal back on easily with my fingers. As I would expect to.
