Assuming it's stock from day one, an oe replacement FelPro will do the job.

Why can't you measure the old one that was removed? Certainly can identify the gasket type and perhaps a PN. Or you may be able to use a shim gage on the other head to measure the COMPRESSED thickness.
Barring the above replace them both with a set. Generally the gaskets come in pairs.

Didn't realize they had numbers on them. I'll check on that.
