LA Engine Lower Timing Gear and Seal Questions

Thanks guys.
Makes sense on the small round red rings on the full gasket set.

What's weird is the gasket set I have for the full rebuild does not have the felt ring that I used on my 318 timing chain replacement project last year.

And I don't think I would ever put the felt inside the timing cover. That just seems to be asking for trouble.
Both of these LA engines are truck based... so they don't have an oil slinger in them from the factory.
