Head Gasket Differences

Anybody know what the difference is in these gaskets:
PN-12498543 1997-2001 LS1 / LS6 Head Gasket
.056 compressed thickness

PN- 12498544 2002 and Newer LS1 / LS6 Head Gasket .060 Compressed thickness

Can the thicker gasket (02+) be used on 01 LS6 heads. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />
I want to take out a little compression and it would be good for .11
