big block head gasket??

i just pulled the heads off my 383 today and was about to throw another set on with new head gaskets when i realized that two of the top coolant holes in the middle of the gasket in between cylinders 3-5 and 5-7 were blocked off on the new head gasket while the old stock head gaskets had cut outs??? is this normal? and should i be using these head gaskets?? they have the main water passages either side of the block and head opened...?
thanks again
