'83 1100ed Valve cover gasket

I am hoping 3rd time is a charm! My two previous orders for this gasket has yielded me a 20 bolt pattern gasket. I need a 24 bolt pattern.

I am going to try Parts fish this time: 11173-49224-H17

Their parts fiche doesn't give you a view of the bolt pattern. If you type the above part number in ebay, the gaskets that come up are the 20 bolt pattern.

What is going on here!!?
 
The dealers all use the same basic parts fiche handed to them. I poked around on ebay- all the gaskets were 20 bolt patterns, but you might stumble across a seller who has the 24 bolt unit.
 
Thanks for your replies. I placed an order with RonAyers. I added a note with my order stating the correct cover needed. The OEM parts industry has a lot of room for improvement.
 
bear in mind there will not be 24 "holes" in the gasket, 4 of the bolts seal with washers on top of the valve cover.

they are the ones on the inside of the outboard sides (if that makes sense). the gasket has some, half-circle shape round parts there. the ones in the ebay photos look correct to me.

The one I recently received has a 16 bolt pattern which I now understand is for a 20 bolt cover. The one I need is a 20 bolt pattern for a 24 bolt/screw cover. Got it!

Thank you.
