Default Do I have the correct 862 hg?

Does this look like the correct head gasket for the early 862 with the notch?

Any insight on this ? Blue mls head gasket is from rpm speed for this particular application. Although I don’t quite see how the recess is the steel gasket will seal the outer surface. Anybody ran into this issue please chime in. This has been a 4 year build.

As you can see, the embossed part is slightly larger than the notch. That is how it seals.
