With a Dave Hills centre stand or even a D type stand fitted to a C it is easier to put it on the rear stand if you put it on the centre stand first. This way the legs of the rear stand can tuck further under the wheel and eases the lift considerably. This has worked for me on my two Comets, one fitted with a DH stand and one with a D stand. It also worked on the C Rapide with a D stand before I chickened out and fitted a Steib.

In fact Dave will ask for a measurement of the height of the pivot bolt from the ground. He builds them to size. I just went the process with him for a stand for my Rapide.
Have get down on my knees and check.
As Dave isn't on the Forum I passed on the info of this Part. He reckons his local dealer says it's not a Jaguar #.

Might be because it's from the old Jag's, I remember the thing Roy says, I think it was 1960s Mk 2. In the old days you could go into a spares shop, Tell them what you want, And there it was !!. Not so much now. Cheers Bill.
Jaguar dealers will not have a clue. Try a parts specialist. S N G Barratt 's web site provided the number, they have a good delivery system.
Dave contacted Barratt's and was supplied with the rubber stops, he asked me to pass on his thanks for the info.
