My Bentley manual for the 1500 shows the circlip (the kind with 2 holes
for circlip pliers) and the washer as original. The washer actually is
slightly cone shaped to ensure a tight fit between the circlip and the
groove in the wheel cylinder.
When I disassembled my rear axle, I had one of each as well. I tossed
the e-rings, and put on circlips.

The PO had used the
same type of circlip provided with the new cylinders
on the one side, but used a flexible washer and
another type of circlip (the kind with a hole in each
end that is normally associated with inside type
circlips.)
