Default Rubber or neoprene seals for intake to head

I have a 2004 Vanden Plas I cant find the 8 formed seals for this car. Everywhere I look the application only goes up to 2003. Is it possible those seals arn't applicable for 2004 and up? When I look on line for Intake sets it only has the two gasket. If they are applicable is there an aftermarket supplier?. Tried ebay, Parts geek, Amazon, Rock Auto so far nothing. They all show the 8 seals in blue up to 2003. My mechanic says they are green. TIA for any help . Pictured are the up to 2003 application

Thank you for the ebay link. However when I click on compatibility it says it wont fit a Vanden Plas. So what is the difference between a 4.2L XJ8 sedan and a 4.2L Vanden Plas relevent to theses seals? I also see the same seal for a 4.2L Range Rover. Is the range rover different also. All are 4.2L CONFUSED!

There are two 4.2L variants in the X350. Naturally aspirated and supercharged. If your vehicle is not supercharged, then those are the seals you want that go between the plastic intake runners and the aluminum rail for injectors. You will also need two metal sandwich style gaskets between the aluminum rail and the head.
