Item 10 on the catalogue picture is the ‘gasket’ and the catalogue suggests 11998-2. Which is also the gasket for the oil sump. The drain seems to be on the underside.
Gasket measurement are as follows, outer diameter, inner diameter, thickness, all in mm.
947624 is 21.7 18.3 1.5.
957181 is 21.9 18.2 1.5.
11998 is 23.9 18.5 1.5
Oddly the catalogue I have does not depict a washer/gasket for the oil filter 3517857. I generally use the washer that comes with the oil filter but maybe one should not use them?

You seem confused about the oil filter gasket which is a large (~80mm dia rubber ring) and the oil sump drain plug washer?
You should always use the new rubber gasket on the new oil filter, the smup drain plug will have a crush washer (aluminium or copper) or if someone has improved it, a Dowty Seal type washer.

The fill hole may not need a washer as the level always sits below it.

The filler plug doesn't need a washer as it's a self-sealing tapered thread. Check my previous pic of them to see what i mean.

No fill plug washer as you say[ATTACH][/ATTACH]

Check the supercessions on the 760 drain plug washer Mark!
Fairly certain you'll find a supercession to the later 11998-2 part number.
