Question Headgaskets and seals......

Hi all, just got my gasket and seals box set for my GC8 and it looks like it has 6 headgaskets!! Is this 3 per cylinder?
Just checking the contents of the box against the manual but the real test comes when the engine comes apart.

I had been trying to sell the car on here but nobody wanted it so i decided to keep and repair it.

Can anyone help with this? I have done engines before but usually they come with one headgasket, not 6!!
Im guessing they are layered (3 per side) and compressed like so.

T.I.A

No!
One gasket per side for the head
One different gasket for the inlet per side
One different again gasket per side for the exhaust manifold

Sure you have the right set?
