Diff plugs

Changed the oil in my diffs today and had a question about the diff plugs and gaskets/seals.
The workshop manual states: "install new gasket to oil drain plug", however there isn't a gasket or seal on the drain, it's just a bolt? The Bigjimny shop shows a crush gasket, but my car doesn't appear to have anything fitted from new? I did have a root around with a pick to see if there was anything stuck to the body of the diff itself, but couldn't find anything front or rear. Anyone else experienced this?
