Welcome to the internet. Had you searched anywhere you'd find that the o-rings between the caliper halves are not available through the dealer. They are also a special material for fluid and heat and are not easily replaced. Amazingly as bad as your searching skills are, you were smart enough to keep the old ones. You would have been fucked if you hadn't. Reuse them, they're fine.

i have 1 oem ring you can have!!
best bet is to find the same caliper at a junk yard and rob it for parts that you need, it will cost you though

Good reading skills. He has saved his old ones, why would he need more?

And the advantage of using one new and one used would be?

Not enough to warrant just replacing one instead of both. Unless they're crushed, torn, or leaking it's pointless to replace them anyway.

That was my point. Getting just one is worthless...
