Those are Sugino Autex self-extracting bolts. The tabbed washer is only used when installed the Autex core into the crank arm - once it's in you use the 6mm allen wrench to install/remove the cranks and the core stays in place. So unless you're removing the core you don't really need the washer (it'd be nice to have, though.)

I recently tried the Autex system on my Fuji and could not really get enough torque with the 6mm wrench; ended up removing them and using standard 8mm crank arm bolts.
