1960's build and probably the original basin and bath pillar taps.


The 1/2" basin tap has a flat washer of 13/16" (20mm) dia.


The 3/4" bath tap has a flat washer of 1 3/16" (29mm) dia.


Been to two plumbing merchants, one very much old school, and nothing
near.


I got an assortment box from IIRC Screwfix. Should see me out. ;-)

But have you looked in the sheds? They might be more likely to have older
spares than a plumber's merchant. Or an old hardware shop, if you can find
one.
