These O-Rings are found on most Mazda Rotary engines up until they changed to an actual gasket on the RX-8 You will only need 1 set (2 O-Rings) for all RX-7’s unless you have a 12a from a series 3 RX-7 FB these have what is known as the beehive oil cooler and will require 2 sets of these for this application. It is recommended to replace these if your removing the oil filter housing/stand in there is any question of their condition or age, if they have been in there any period of time they are usually flattened and will struggle to reseal.
