I'd think a photo capture would be about as accurate as you could get. About 20 years ago I had the exact same situation but was a rubberized paper gasket material. The part that took the longest was getting information from the gasket material maker that the material would not catch fire and smoke and foul up the lenses of the laser. Once we had that I had my ten new perfect gaskets the next day. I had a round pipe flange gasket, with 6 smaller holes that just touched the outside edge of the OD, but did not break through. Any kind of punch or hard tool pulled or moved the gasket material and ruined the gaskets. A waterjet was going to be my last resort, but still has tool pressure. The QA inspector came up to my cubical and congratulated me on buying a perfect example of an almost impossible to make part.
I would caution you on lasering cork, it's a decayed tree bark, possibly flammable, and brittle. Plus it's a TERRIBLE gasket material. Bend it slightly and it breaks. A cork filled rubber composite is a good gasket material.
I absolutely hated the cork valve cover gaskets on my small block Chevy in my first car. Oil pan gasket was a leaker too.

What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
