Interestingly I just checked the door handle gaskets I have (purchased from Rimmers some time ago) and the larger gasket is made from Rubber / Neoprene, whilst the smaller one is a thick card like material. The ones I recently removed from my doors were the latter material so I wonder if the larger ones are re-manufactured items or if the material used changed over time.
They look very similar, but it's not possible to judge their size from a picture and thus if interchangeable.
It should be noted that the Dolomite / Toledo door locks also have three locating tabs so the fourth location tab cut out in the lock gasket shown in my photo is redundant.

I made a door lock gasket today, the three locating tabs don't go the whole length of the lock so its easier to make the gasket just a centre whole no locating tabs to worry about

Two of the tabs where the clip holds it in position in the door do not as you say go the lenght of the body of the lock, the third central one does to prevent the lock from turning in the door, so you may still need a single tab cut out to fit correctly.

Thanks to Dave for sending me the door handle gaskets to use as a pattern.
I've drawn the two door handle gaskets (top) the boot lock gasket (bottom left) and the door lock gasket (bottom right).
I just need to source the material to print them on.
I'll take a couple of sets when you go into production!
