There are basically three head gaskets that the Spitfire used throughout its life. The early 1147 head, from 68 and earlier, the 1296 head from 1969 to 1971 and the 1296/1500 recessed (block) from 1972 and on --- It's fairly straightforward, the 1147 gasket won't fit the later heads/blocks because of the difference in number and spacing of the head bolts, and the 1296/1500 recessed one is distinguished by the recesses like shallow o-ring grooves around the bores in the blocks on the later engines
