OK, the dash-1 drawings at RBT show washer type seals for three plugs,
the dash-2 drawings only for the filler plug.

The -2 ZF uses tapered plugs, with a 17 mm allen head. No gaskets.
The plugs are frequently found on VW/audis as well. At least I have a
new fill plug (no magnet) for an old audi that appears identical to the
ZF plugs.
