MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Gaskets with the heat shield?

I am installing 1.5 SU's on my American '77 midget. The heat shield I bought has copper rings in the center. The Moss catalog shows that after mid '77 the gaskets were dropped.

Do I have the heat shield that is without gaskets?

So I have found out that you should use gaskets on both sides of any heat shield. Makes sense now that I think about it. I use copper conflats at work for high vacuum applications and focused on that.
