'86 420SEL Coolant Change Time: Block Drain Gasket?

Hi, I am about to change my coolant; do the two block drain plugs have gaskets? Are they typically reusable? I did not see anylisted in the parts section. I like to be completely prepared. Thanks!

Just a simple crush washer, 14mm.
Yes, 99% of the time can be re-used
