FE inspection plate gasket?

Hey guys,
As I was cleaning up my inspection plate/cover for my 65 390/MX bellhousing, I found remnants of what looked to be cork gasket material. Were these supposed to have that from the factory (my parts catalog is a little unclear on that)? Also, I saw a rubber starter dust boot/seal on ebay for 390 with a '62 part number, made me wonder if these were supposed to have that. I appreciate any help, and sources for purchasing, if they were stock and are available. Hoping to make this as correct as possible.

Thanks,
Kelly

Dang Jazz that is a clean MX. I have my inspection plate off and don't see any gasket stuff. but it's a rebuild, so maybe it was there once. Also, I don't see them being included in rebuild kits.

Would you mind taking a few measurements for me? The length of the transmission and the length of the driveshaft. Thank you!

Rubber starter boot ended with the old style starter in 64 I believe.
