Have never looked at the seals, never had reason too.
Thought they would be orings or quad rings.
Did notice that a gun shop I go to, has kits for both rifle and pistol.
Hardly mess with them anymore, but you're supposed to store them with 2 pumps, have always done that.
When I take them out and dry fire before oiling, they always *POP* after all these years, so I suspect the ancient seals are still not leaking.
They probably wouldn't hold up under active use however.

It is inactivity that does them in.
