Your car has one master cylinder & 2 vacuum boosters. You can’t replace the vac units & rebuild the boosters, it’s one or the other. Again, I suspect you have had the misfortune of a unknowledgeable repair.

That said, you could also just have something wrong with the vacuum supply.

Can you take a picture of the engine bay and post it? I’ll keep an eye out for it and OK it for posting.

Yours
Vern

He claims he got aftermarket from the UK since OEM wasn’t available, etc., etc.  Something about OEM rebuild kits not being available?  Whatever.
