The plastic diaphragm plate (you show the OEM metal ones) is from a "Dyno Jet" Stage 3(?)  KIT. 
The lighter weight of the plastic holder provides a faster response in terms of Vacuum lifting the main-needle holders/slides. 
I would advise you abandon the "o-rings" you were intending on using.  A "Fiber" washer" is required........or use nothing at all ! 
"Lock-Tite" will seal the 4 small screws.

I rebuilt a set of carbs for someone several years ago and it was the first time I had seen and ever have seen a "Dyno-Jet" Stage 3 kit.   I wasn't impressed with the "Plastic" retainer-ring.  It was deformed(warped) and lifting between the 4 screws.  A poor choice of materials for the application and the PRI$E !
