apparently there are"old" and "new" caps. What are the OD, ID, and thickness dimensions of the o-rings you're selling?

Here are the approximate dimensions of one of my o-rings:

OD: 1.955"
ID: 1.541"
thickness: 0.207"

FYI - Here's an O-ring from McMaster Carr that matches your dimensions pretty closely:

http://www.mcmaster.com/#8333t348/=crktwv

OD: 1.895"
ID: 1.475"
Thk: 0.210"

The increased diameters on yours could be due to stretching over time, or approximate measuring, or both. $6 each, though.
