The water valve in the '55 Unimatic was a two solenoid Hot solenoid and Warm solenoid valve. You can use any new water valve in the machine however all new valves are Hot solenoid-Cold solenoid valves. That means You'll have cold rinses. No you could wire in a relay to make a warm rinse, but that will take some studying of the wiring diagram and some experimentation.
Also with new valves you'll have to slow down the water flow otherwise it will overfill as new valves don't usually have a water pressure flow-regulator. I have used a ball gate valve on the valve to fill flume hose, 1/4" like this but you'll need to screw on hose barb connectors on both ends. Then you can adjust the handle to 2.5 gallons per minute.
