Default Valve seals

Hey guys doing camswap right now and the TSP valve seals were supposed to be different colors but are all the same.There is a very slight difference in height,would taller ones be intake or exhaust? Unfortunately they are all out of there packaging.ugh

They do have intergrated seats.Unfortunately the seals appear to be the same color,but 8 have a slightly taller base than the other 8.

I was finally able to get through at TSP Apparently the seals are exactly the same.They said no idea why they are even color coding them.Lol.So my eyes must be playing tricks on me as far as the height difference.Thanks for replies!
