Your thumb fittings are SAE, but, your JCB will, most likely, be all British, and some places may even use dowty seals.
An SAE kit will only help on your thumb plumbing.
As for durometer, 90 is the standard for hydraulics, and you have to search to find anything different.

That's why I was suggesting get the tech from the dealer to advise on what would be a good assortment to have on hand, Might only need two or three different sizes of each type of seal. Where a off the shelf kit will have many sizes that would be of no use to someone with just a single machine.
