#G Shellplate and #7 Locator pins are also used for the 45-70. The #B powder funnel is used with the .308/30-06 and several other cartridges. If you have those you are good to go with the 7.62x54R on the 550.

The full list of tools is listed here:

http://www.dillonhelp.com/manuals/english/Dillon-RL550B-Manual-May-2007.pdf

That's the complete current RL550b manual. You should have it on hand in any event.

Pages 16-19 cover all the conversion kit parts.

Brian Enos has a quickie cross reference chart:
