Default 56 Country Sedan Torque Converter

I have been able to pull my transmission out to start solving the oil leaks from the front input shaft seal and possible torque converter seal.

I pulled off the torque converter plate to access inside and inspect the seal and found it pretty much petrified rubber. Went further to inspect the two thrust washers, one bronze and second steel. They appeared to be ok but I am planning to replace them.

What I found looking for these washers is that neither one is a common item in any of the online obsolete / restoration part sites. In fact, took alot of creative key terms in different search engines to find them. I was able to find them though.

Has anyone else replaced these thrust washers? Does not seem to be a common item and perhaps not something one should replace due to internal wear patterns and replacing to whole converted is standard practice?
