'65 Small Block Exhaust Manifold Gskts Installed Wrong?

[dibbons]

Motor stands the same now as when purchased over 10 years ago. I just noticed that the combo exhaust gaskets/heat shields may have been installed by a previous owner swapped driver's side/passenger side. What do you think? Second and last photo are driver's side. Third and fourth photos are passenger side. Thank you.

They look correct to me. 65'

Yes, correct for 64 to 66 smallblock.

So the gasket that rises up higher goes on the passenger side as pictured and the low-rise gasket goes on the driver's side? Edit: Added two more driver's side photos with my finger touching the gasket shroud down next to the spark plug in the second photo.

Just for fun, I noticed the driver's side exhaust manifold on our '72 Satellite turns down instead of up like on the '65 Formula S.
