Please do Jim. The gasket in question is pale green, same as the rear of pump gasket. Looks and feels like the same material.

The 0.004" gasket i finally used was from an Elring kit, I think for a different engine.

When I get the time, I will pull the OP gaskets from each kit to measure and in addition, measure the individual gaskets on the shelf at work.  The Oil Pump for the 72-79 1600 w/Dished Camshaft is the same as for the Wasserboxer, therefore the gaskets *should* be the same.
