1.5 engine code JB - which head gasket is right?

Post

Back to the top
Need to fit a new head gasket - the one listed on VW Heritage for a JB 1.5 engine doesn't look right at all - link.

The one off my engine looks closer to a head gasket for a diesel which doesn't make much sense - a lot of the water jacket holes are blocked as a result.

See attached photos of my engine with the existing head gasket on and removed. Can anyone help me work out which head gasket is right?
