Wondering what the difference is?

The supplied snapring is quite a bit thicker, and after installation IIRC is slightly too large in diameter to fit in the recess provided for it. Don't quote me on that last bit cuz it's been about 4 decades since I tried to put one together with the wrong snapring,lol.
But for sure, the one that is supplied with the new 307 bearing, is too thick. Lay it into the recess and check to see how proud the new snapring is, out of the recess. Your gasket has to be at least that thick. You might be able to stack gaskets, or cut your own thicker one, to make it work. Doing that is not otherwise a problem. If the retainer does not clamp the gasket securely, then the gasket will weep oil. I you make yur own gasket don't forget to provide a drainback
