The left hand 2 are for a 1.3 carb. I always have the lower round one left over.

The two on the right look like EGR gaskets and the lower one could be for the thermostat housing.

turns out the round gasket is for the hose conector piece on the water rail on the intake manifold. have rebuilt my head, and it's ready to go back on. am almost done cleaning the block, so it's almost ready to paint. also I'm just about done painting all the bits for the engine, just need to buy some rings and big end bearings, fit them, and put everything back together. hopefully this weekend will be fine, so I can finish painting the chassis. am slowly getting there now
