Default GM MLS headgasket p/n (sorry, search is borked)

I found conflicting part numbers for GM MLS headgaskets, need to know which one please so I install the correct ones...

12589226

or

12498544

...or are they the same ?

Need them for my stock bore size Procharged 99 LS1.

Thanks !

bore size doesnt matter......which heads? 12610046 if your running 317s on your motor imo. you dont wana run 5.7 head gaskets on a 6.0 head. the seal ring will be INSIDE the chamber not outside.......if you got 5.7 heads go with SSmokin 01.

Without looking up the part numbers, I'm pretty sure the first pair are graphite and the other part numbers for a single head gasket are MLS (multi-layer-steel). GM switched to the MLS style quite a few years ago.
