Ported Lower Manifold @Synergy Composites

So here's a question on lower intake manifold gaskets, Since I never R&R a 370z intake.
The gasket's that I received from Nissan Parts over the net. came as 3 metal gaskets together riveted at the bottom. So is this a composite metal gasket? What I thought I was purchasing was a gasket set like every other normal V-8 I've worked on.
Can someone please enlighten me before I take this apart.

Yes, there should also be little blue dots on one side, that is the side that should face out. You will need two of those multilayer metal gaskets (one for each side).

You can see the two gaskets in this picture, also when putting the manifold back in there is a two step torque sequence, should make sure to follow the service manual torque pattern.
