Head swap: which head gasket to use?

I am about to put my JDM 96 H22A head on a USDM 2001 H22A4 block. I want to buy a Cometic head gasket for it. Which gasket do I get? A 92-96 gasket or a 97+ gasket?

The gaskets ARE different. Get the one for the year car engine you have.

They are different part numbers from Honda. I guess its from the Closed and Open deck design.
