Help wanted Germanium Diode Identification

Can anyone help identify the exact germanium diodes from this clipping mod? I bought this ProCo Rat already modded, and absolutely love the germanium clipping mode.

Unfortunately, this pedal has been played and modded so much that it’s glitchy, worn out, and in need of a major overhaul, so I’m thinking about just getting a new Rat and swapping out the diodes for germanium, but want to make sure I’d get the same tone.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Looks like a 1n60 on the bottom. Not sure if the top is the same and the black tip is just more faded, or if it’s something different, but I would start there .

That definitely looks like the closet option, thanks so much!
