Default which zetec inlet gasket ?

I have one of crazycage manifold to go on my silvertop ZT engine, question is which model inlet gasket do you use ? As I bought one from Burton thinking it was the right one only to be £35 down and still none the wiser, I am now thinking should it be the 18 zetec inlet gasket, please help, advise, see pics below.
Thanks

Do you use this gasket only no paper ones? as the advert mentions paper gaskets as well.
is that the same one as the rs1800 or mk5 xr3i ? As my local ford dealer had one nos, just needs a bit of fettling to match the ports on the inlet.

This is a pic of the one I just got. It's the same as the one crazycage just posted up. Needs slight port matching at the bottom of each port and also just a bit of sealant/red hylomar in between ports on the inlet side.

Would you not need it on little bits I'm pointing to in the pic? It's something the guy mentioned when I collected the gasket today. I'll be doing the port matching on it tomo then bolting it up
