thermostat housing gasket for a 223 I-6

I have a 1960 F100 with a 223 I-6 and need a replacement gasket for my water outlet housing (thermostat housing). I went to my local NAPA and order one and it's going to take a few days to arrive. The image of it looks just like the one I found on Thermostat Housing Gasket - #F-8255-1 - National Parts Depot Below is the image of the housing in my truck and I am wondering if I have the correct housing as the bolt pattern does not seem to match. Do I have the incorrect housing?

For the most part it looks like mine with the exception of the plug on the passenger side. These pics are not great but here is mine at rebuild years ago.

Thanks, Spurredon. It looks like the gasket from NAPA has an extra bolt, but I should be able to cut that piece off and make this work.
