Those sound like they might be the seal gaskets for the ends of the omp feed lines where they connect to the pump or block. They would be made of copper and go on either side of the banjo connector

there is one large washer on the side of the omp pump that is one piece and has holes for all four bolts. on the other side there is a single washer per bolt.

If you need a temporary fix, you can take a flat-head screw driver and a hammer, and knock the little clamp off the end of the nozzle (on the engine), and knock off the old plastic (sometimes it doesn't come off with the clamp, that **** gets HARD over time), then you'll see a tiny nipple left over, you can take some small vacuum line, and cut it to size then stick it over the nipple end, then jam the broken end of the line into the vacuum hose, and it should work just fine temporarily until your replacement arrives.
