Why would you need a gasket ?  What is it designed to seal ? Perhaps to eliminate a potential rattle ?.  Never knew there is such a thing................Bruce

Its seems that gaskets were used in many metal to metal contact areas such as the engine grille, horn grilles, handles, lights, etc.  My guess would be to reduce rattles and rubbing the paint, resulting in more rust issues.  One of the things the German engineers did not put much effort into with their early cars was corrosion protection.
