Peugeot's own on line spare parts catalogue (it's much more than that but the spares stuff is free) -

You too can create an account, you don't have to be honest as it doesn't check
I think you'll possibly need the nuts and lock washers for the hubs, although I'm not sure how serious they are about changing them every time. Also consider the condition of your back plates, they seem to like rusting away on older 406s. Changing them could conceivably damage the bearings so it might be a good time to do them while you're there anyway.
