I think if you order new ones they will come with the 2 o-ring setup anyway and new spigots, the other earlier part numbers are now discontinued.
The older style have no 'O' rings, they are a tapered aluminium fitting and have a tendency to leak once they've been apart a few times (at least the ones on my 916 are).

The 'O' ring versions are far better but I'm not sure when they brought them in or if they even made them for the original Monster?
