I have also done a few C25's off Cavs.....circa 94 era.

I am pretty sure that a copper washer would require additional clamping force to get a good quality water seal. Hence the dowty washers as they provide a seal via the rubber insert and a conductive path via the metal surround which ensures the temp sensor gets its 0V return path without over stressing the banjo bolt.
