Great picture. Yup, you got it. You want a 6,10,12, and also a 9. And then order a #17 but 8.5mm made from silicone from cafelat on amazon.
Shame is that for those plungers all we really need is part #7 but at least on mine I could find no way to disassemble (nor could I find #7 for sale anywhere.)
