Budd Caliper's

I took the leaking caliper apart and one half had the black piston in with a different kind of seal I have a feeling as it has no tail it may have caught on a bit of corrosion on the cylinder wall (it’s stood for a year while I was fitting the SRT8 motor)and flipped slightly and stuck and let fluid passed
I tried a local seal manufacturer to get some new seals they didn’t have anything in stock but surprisingly the said they could make me some.
I get them Wednesday I’ll see if that fixes it.

I Picked up the seals and fitted them,bled the system ran the car up and applied the brakes really hard dozens of times and no leaks from the pistons so fingers crossed I've cured the leak need to road test it for a while to make sure their ok when theres some heat going through them.
one slight problem the bleeder hex is rounded i have a spare pair of calipers with a good bleeder in but it won't seal the ends are different the original one is more pointed the spare calipers dont have a brass seat in the caliper and the bleeder is blunter and seats direct the machined surface of the bleed hole
so has any body got the part number for the sharper ended ones?
Top one is the brass seat one
