Hello, Adam -

The following may help -- I researched these for two 1961 E-types. You can use the same VBM numbers but use later DOM dates for your car if you are making tags.

Lower Brake Master Cylinder Operating Front Brakes (see J-30, p. 135) (fitted to Chassis No. 885156 and subsequent)
DOM. 18 12 61
VBM. 4705

Upper Brake Master Cylinder Operating Rear Brakes (J-30, p. 136) (fitted to Chassis No. 885156 and subsequent)
DOM. 18 12 61
VBM. 4706

Clutch Master Cylinder (J-130, p. 58) (fitted from 885001 to 886218)
DOM. 12 12 61
VBM. 4044

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lower Brake Master Cylinder Operating Front Brakes (see J-30, p. 135) (fitted from 885001 to 885155)
DOM. 7 09 61
VBM. 4038

Upper Brake Master Cylinder Operating Rear Brakes (J-30, p. 136) (fitted from 885001 to 885155)
DOM. 7 09 61
VBM. 4039

Clutch Master Cylinder (J-130, p. 58) (fitted from 885001 to 886218)
DOM. 12 9 61

These are the tags from the master cylinders on 876024. Maybe this will help a little if you blow up the picture.
