Bernie:  you could try contacting Rod at thepartsconnection.com
He went the extra (many) miles for me/us and found a source for the (correct 3B) bosch distributor rotor, by going through his contact at Bosch in germany.  This part was not available through Audi, or through USA bosch dealers...

Look in your yellow pages under Seals, O-ring.  If no, try Bearings.
I get mine in Hayward, CA  Bay Seal.

I'm still working the Bosch rebuild parts source search.  I've given up on
finding an e-mail contact on the Bosch web site.  All are dead ends.  A
friend is a Volvo parts distributor and sells a lot of Bosch, so am trying
to find a link thru him.  Will post anything positive.

These O-rings on the injectors are static seals and were in good shape when
I removed my injectors (my 3Bing of the 7A project) even though showing some
signs of minor leaking as you are seeing.  So with a clean up and assembly
lube would be fine to reinstal, IMO.

What was wrong with your Dist?  Drive gear broken?  I do have a temporary
spare (the project dist) if it could buy time for you.
