Seat belt bolts - I can't read the assembly manual

Assembly manual has it pretty clear as far as washers and bolt placement for the seat belts.

Unfortunately, the AMK kit doesn't match what the assembly manual says. So the assembly manual shows 2 washers as "C" for the retractor (View "CC") as well as a washer "A." For the other belt, it gets a washer "A" (View "AA"). So according to the manual, I need 2 washers "C" and 2 washers "A." I didn't cross reference the finish, but both are the same, which would mean both a metal washers. What I actually got in the AMK kit is pictured below, ie, 2 large metal washers, 1 small metal washer, and 2 rubber washers. If "C" meant the large metal washer and "A" meant the rubber washer, I got it made. I don't think that's the case though. I thought maybe it would make sense if the rubber was meant to be a seal of some sort, but then view "AA" specifically shows a sealant "D" on the transmission tunnel under the washer that goes there.

So how do these go together?

Wow am I being anal or what?
 
I just took some belts out of a 67. It had: Large washer against carpet, next the retractor, the the small metal washer, and the rubber washer went against the head of the bolt.
