All head nut washers accounted for.  This washer is significantly larger than the head nut washer.  This washer measures 20.50mm. 
Thanks, Jim

Hold on - went to measure the ID and it measures 8.1mm, rechecked the OD and it measures 23.3mm.  Not sure how I came up with 20.5mm.

Now I'm questioning if it is number 76.

May have found where your washer came from. Fixing the flat tire on my 550.. the washer on the rear hub brake arm is a match.
