Most likely thousandths of an inch. As in 0.002"

The arrangement in your picture is very much like one I have that's marked with the full measurements. The 0.020 and 0.025 leaves (being the thickest) are on the outside of the group to protect the rest of the thinner ones.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

Easy to figure out. Measure them with a 0-1" micrometer. Here are a couple inexpensive ones for sale at HF and NT. It's good to have at least a 0-1' in your tool box and a set of 6" dial or digital calipers are very handy as well.

Harbor Freight

Northern Tools

Better quality ones will cost more such as Starrett or Mitutoyo.

Starrett

Mitutoyo

Better yet, beings you're not too far away, I'd be happy to measure them for you if you want to stop by some time.
