Default head gasket question

I planned on ordering the Felpro 1003 but some how got the 7733-pt2...
Will these work for my application or am I at risk of blowing these things.
I didn't realize my mistake till they got here,

I have had good luck using the 7733s. They should not be a problem.

I ran about 50 bottles of nitrous through my 383 with the same head gaskets. They are better than fine.

That's great news, I took a few days off next week to start putting it back together and was horrified to see I made a mistake.
