Nope, that is where the books are wrong. I have noticed this before. The
very first baffle came without the ridge, and had 2 very thin gaskets
glued to it. This was superceded within 6 months, and then you could
only get the ones with the rib. The plates with the gasket were a
thinner aluminum. IIRC, this baffle started in about 1965. My virgin '64
engine did not have one in it. It does now.

That is about the best shot I have of a baffle plate, and notice how it
is oriented. That is how they go.
