Looks like its number 3 the foam gasket that the dash air ducts sit on inside the vehicle. Number 2 looks like its outside the vehicle, ( heater blower) would not be accessed when swopping the dash.

#2 is heater box to body - four studs with nuts in the scuttle box.
#3 is the dash to heater box one.
