? My ETK gives same part number for the gaskets, so does ECP website, also same part numbers for the manifold themselves.

There were 2 different types of manifolds available for the M20, maybe this is where the confusion stems from.

There's older and later, not 320 and 325. date of 9/87 rings a bell.
