Thanks for the pictures MAX. I think I've learned something here. It looks like the impeller is central in the SS housing...no offset. I always thought there was a wedge in the housing that would make each impeller blade flex/compress as it went over the "eccentric" wedge.

Maybe I'm thinking the bronze Jabsco belt driven pumps that I had on my old Yanmar diesel sailboat auxiliary. NB
