Default Best Gasket Graphtite Head Gaskets

Does anyone know if there is any difference between the 509G and the 573G Best Head Gaskets besides the extra holes in the 573G (and other than one is for a Model A and the other for a model B.)

Thanks. I'll be sure to check those areas when I pull the head

Unless I am getting the parts numbers mixed for the Best gaskets, I think they are the same but for the two extra holes. I have both at my shop and will check later today.
While in Loveland for the National this summer, I was talking with the H&H guys and they laid one over the other and they matched.
Good Day!

Thanks Dave. That's why I asked. They look the same. Just one labeled for Model A and the other Model B. And the 'steam' holes...
