Default why is there two differant pt#s for headgaskets?

For my 2000 Trans am. I just need the stock GM head gaskets. It shows two seperate part numbers. Arent they the same gasket for both sides? If anybody has a set for sale give me a shout.

One part number is the MLS gasket, the other is the graphite gasket. I cant remember off the top of my head what part number is what, but maybe someone else can come in and clear this up some more.

These kits come with a RH and LH gasket, at least the graphite kit did.
