Yes.
Are you sure it's 3/4" Looks like 1/2" to me, much more common in a house. The OD of the 1/2" BSP thread is 21.4 mm, 0.84".
Yes, the old valve has 3/4" fitting - bolt and nut through the water tank connecting to the Tee connector (3/4" in the centre). Not 22mm, not 15mm, not 1/2".
Search eBay for 3/4" ballvalve washers with no hole, and the price is between £6.50 - £10 each.

They look like for 1/2" valves which are more common. The one we have is definitely 3/4" valve.
What is the OD of the threaded part through the tank wall?
We decided to install the new PART2 valve when it arrives.
Will be taking out the old valve and just store it in the shed for repair through time.
What's the OD? That will settle whether it is 1/2" or 3/4".
They have both, same price.
It's 1/2 inch BSP...my fifty years tells me that. A 3/4 inch would have a bigger float.
Also , back in the day I would cut a washer down to fit what is needed here.
