I cannot explain why the stock one has that little pouch in it.
I do know my aftermarket one has the cork one and it seems to seal fine

ok cool i mean there is no reason it should not seal it just blew my mind im like WTF is this there was some grease and what not in there to but i just left it assuming its supposed to be there?

Yup for some reason the factory gasket is that rubbery pouch thing but the replacements are always just paper/cork and they work fine for sealing.
