O Ring Replacements

Are these suitable O rings for Jin's engines (do all his H&M models take the same size 20mm x 1mm?)

The correct size is, OD-22mm, ID-20mm, diameter is 1mm. In looking at your screen shot it looks like it shows a OD of 20mm.  I have bought some replacements and the 22-20-1 are a perfect fit.

While I am not sure, I believe that all of Jins hit and miss engines have a 20mm piston. One of his newer engines uses a 11mm diameter piston, but that is not hit & miss.

Nope. You want 22 mm OD, 1mm ring diameter, which has to be subtracted twice to get the ID, which is 20
The website you show lists OD and rubber thickness, so you want 22x1
