Question about vintage Binks filters/regulators

I'm looking some help with these old Binks air filter/regulators that came from my dad's hobby auto work back before my time. First stupid question is are they considered filters or dryers or what?
I assume they are still worth using but can I get parts and if so, what should be replaced?
I'm not even sure what the filter component is made of but it appears rusty unless that's just the color...
They both still sealed and seemed to work but to get the gauges and everything back on tight I'll need to remove the bottom of the canister for clearance when tightening things up. What should go along the bottom between the cylinder and the domed cap to maintain a good seal? There doesn't appears to be anything there now like I would have expected. Looks like just residue and mineral deposits from water but seams like there should be an o-ring or something.
Thanks for any suggestions.
