[T3] Early front brake question

Someone has asked me if I can rebuild the front wheel cylinders from 
a '65 squareback, but I've never seen any of those. Can anyone tell 
me what the seal inside them looks like?

It would either be a solid disk, like the rears, with no center hole, 
or it would be a "ring" that fits in a groove around the piston.

Which is it? The parts book indicates that 61-65 are all 22 mm 
(actually 7/8" = 22.2 mm) so they are the same diameter as the late 
rears, but I only have replacement seals of the solid type.
