help! manifold gasket

so im running a front mount turbo kit using the "truck" manifolds flipped forward, other day i blew out my driver side manifold to pipe gasket (trucks passenger side) i CAN NOT find this gasket anywhere, ive gone to advance, napas and pep boys and had them look up silverado 1500s 2500s (thought these where 6.0L manifolds) escalades and nothing comes up, only thing i get is the driver side flange gasket which is shaped diff or i get the donut/ring gasket.

what should i look up to get the proper gasket for this?

cant reliably find it on google ether get pics of it here and there but

If the part is on original GM vehicles, check the dealer for the part. They will list it.

Or if it is two flat flange faces, as above. Clean em up and some copper silicone.
