Its a common enough washer, but I wonder if the auto parts ones are this small OD, Id we can get, but OD these are pretty small.
BTW you can in a pinch reuse them, they do crush, but they are not slike the spark plug washers that collapse with torque ... these are solid metal, they crush repeatedly cos they dont collapse ... a lightly used one isn't unuseable.

even if the O.D. is slightly larger, are there tabs guiding the hose which will cause interference? the advance auto here has a huge selection. what is it M10?

Take the washer to the nearest auto store with you...they have a multipack of them in the help section- I've used them on my VX- which uses the same brake parts as the GS (ok so my master cylinder is gray not black... and the front caliper is on the opposite sise..but it's the same...).

The " Help "  washers will work fine... couple dollars and you'll have a bunch of extras.
