I might have it pressure tested before I install, but it does fit

Interesting, I've always had to have those ones recored. Those rivets look odd, I suppose they don't have originals and fabricate their own plates. I see it fits the one half, how about the other? It's hard to tell from your shots, but those cores look to be on the wide side. I hope I'm wrong. You could measure the old one and compare. If it works out for you, let us know where you got it. Also, the shop that did my first one, pressure tested with air, it passed. I installed it, it failed. I removed it, tested it myself with domestic hot water 120°c +-, found the spot, brought it back. They called saying "we tested it and it's good". I was steaming! So I went down there and asked to see it tested. They brought me to the back where their big water pool was and hooked it up to air and said "see, no bubbles". I said "but it's not hot". They said "that doesn't matter". I said "obviously it does!" So they hit it with a tiger torch quickly and re-submerged. Bubbles rose to the surface from the spot I had circled. They apologized and fixed it, again. Then I installed it again. Point of the story, test hot!
 
So I got my heater core and new evap and gasket kit. The gasket kit instructions seems to show that the gasket for the 2 body halves should go on the housing half but that would mean no gasket between the front body half and the heater core flange. The way it was had the gasket between the front half and the heater core flange, which would seem the right way to seal the ac evap?
 
Nevermind, I can't read or look at photos correctly. They have it being applied where it should.
