Mystery parts fell out of my Rochester!

I was rebuilding my Rochester BV carburetor and when I turned the bowl upside down these two parts fell out. And for the life of me I can't figure where they go. As far as I can see they aren't on the parts diagram. Help?

Ok, I figured out the fat cylindrical piece is the old needle. The new needle and seat was thinner than the one pictured which is why I didn't recognize it. Still don't know what the disc looking thing is. Maybe it sits between the needle and the seat?

That is a needle & seat used by an aftermarket carb. part co. You can replace them with the conventional n.s. from the kit.
