#1 Which thermostat gasket?

I suspected that my car didn't have a thermostat fitted so I bought one, along with gaskets from SNGB. I have just gone to fit it and found that the gasket I need has four holes, three for bolts and one for a waterway, as per this

Can anyone tell me what the part number is for this housing to extension piece gasket?
Thanks

I called the vendor of the housing kit, they don't supply the gaskets other than as part of the kit, looks like I'm making my own.

I do a lot of this. I bought a cheap hollow punch set and a couple of different sheets of gasket material.
Paid dividends when I had to remove and replace my 4.2 waterpump about 8 times in a row courtesy of not one but 2 faulty "reconditioned" units from my friends the South Coast Pirates.

Not a bad idea to keep some gasket paper in stock, I'd ordered a few sheets last night anyway but hopefully I'll have the correct gasket tomorrow.
