Standing Rigging

I'm in the middle of the refit of my 23/3 and am replacing most of the standing rigging. I do have a question about the clevis pins that secure the turnbuckles to the chainplates. Do any of you know the size of the clevis pins?  Are all of them the same size?  Any help would be appreciated. When I was disassembling the rig, the pins were lost.

I've disassembled that rig half dozen times but can't recall.  I think the forestay and backstay may be different but not sure.  Going to the boat sometime this week will check sizes if you haven't gotten your answer before then.
