Default valve seal replacement

I've been searching about this and have been getting some conflicting info. I understand that brown is for exhaust and black is for intake. But in all the photos the brown seal is taller. In the service manual I have, the taller seal is also identified as the exhaust valve seal.

My problem is I have a bag of shorter brown seals and taller black seals so I'm confused as to which is correct for which valve. Pics included.

This is a photo showing the taller brown seals sold by Vinci. Found it while searching.

This is what the Haynes manual shows.

The last two are pics of the valve seals I have, and the exhaust(?) seal I removed.

I'd forget about the color and go by size/ shape. Different manufacturer might be the reason for the color difference.

That's what I was thinking. Didn't wanna be wrong though.
