I know you can get the oil pan gasket individually from many auto part stores like a NAPA or PepBoys. The oil pump base gasket is usually found in the complete gasket kit from the aftermarket folks, or might be available individually as well. I would think the dealer would be your best bet to order just the individual piece. Also make sure you machine that base surface flat before you put it back together. That base warping is a common cause of oil pressure loss. You often see the gasket blown out between the bolts. If you are having pressure problems and you have the pan down, check the crankshaft while you are there, just make sure that you don't accidently swap main or rod cap positions! I've traced 3 pressure problems on tractors back to a PO not paying attention, or not knowing it was important.
