Our daily drivers both used single use copper crush washers, but I then replaced them with solid copper washers. Copper pricing went way up, so aluminum ones were used after that.
I don't like the single use Cu crush washers for a number of reasons.
I'm using solid Cu washers or if not easily available, aluminium washers.
