I just recieved an email notice then checked AE's website to confirm.
https://www.teamassociated.com/parts/details/6867-ASC6867-rc10wc_decal_sheet/
Going forward, I guess we'll need to buy this decal set from MCI.

Is there another option?

I'm glad I didn't cut mine or used anything from it. I'll put it away for 20 years and then see what it's worth!

I guess those little aluminum washers are gone now.

Is there a suitable replacement available anywhere?

If my calipers are accurate, they're maybe a couple thousandths larger on OD and thickness but certainly close enough. And they're about one third the cost ($3.99/12 vs. $11.65/100). Thank you Nomad, I had checked fastener-express but somehow I missed these.

Your very welcome sir. I plan on getting a pack when I run out of Associated washers.

, On second thought, I think I'll not open the last 2 packs of AE washers, might be some "gold" to be had for them someday.

I'm expecting to see a whole bunch of these emails in the next few weeks on all the parts I have emails on. Sad, really.
