Hub bearing depth? is there a reason for the difference?

As long as there no dimensional issues with the hubs themselves, this shouldn't be a problem.
Do you any calipers and can you Measure stuff Accurately?
Are you prepared to get new spacers?
Have a Bearing Tool?

I have a clipper and am decent with dimensions. I have a press as well. I also have access to a CNC and could build them fairly quickly but my only problem is that I am just trying to understand the bike’s bearing measurement inside through holes and the relation of the pulley mounting face to rotor mounting face. From the sounds of it they don’t have a critical relation to each other. Where the bearings are set dose this only change the spacer sizes? Dose offset have to do with the centre to rotor distance only? I think I may be confusing the bearings with the offset. Do you know what the measurement between the bearings on a 5.5 hub? Thank you for your knowledge

There are some Important Dimensions and not so important ones.
This will all unfold ... just let it happen
I took the liberty of arranging your Hub/Bearing Pics in order they would appear on your bike ... Helpful for Visualizing.
1. Pull all the bearings and get ready to measure stuff
2. Measure and List EXISTING Wheel Spacer Lengths (widths)
• Front Left Spacer =
• Front Right Spacer =
• Front Center Spacer Sleeve =
• Rear Left Spacer =
• Rear Right Spacer =
• Rear Center Spacer Sleeve =
3. Show a pic of the bearings removed (showing the width)

Hmm ... I was expecting "Precision" measurements in thousandths (.001") or MM (.01 mm) whatever you're comfortable with .. not fractions (or a decimal equivalent conversion of).
Even if you measured down to 1/32ths, you could be off up to approx .031 (then add up all those possible "offs" of the "Stack-up" of parts) ... no bueno
