FL S5 Tail lights, Which gaskets? S4 or S5

Sorry this could be a stupid question, but do the S4 and S5 coupe Rx-7's take separate tail light gaskets or do they use the same one? If they take separate ones then what should someone do if they are swapping S5 tail lights on an S4 coupes? Should they use the S4 gaskets or s5? Thanks in advance!

I've read both of these links previously and to my knowledge they don't give the answer that I am looking for. I appreciate the thoughtfulness though. My question still lingers if there are separate gaskets needed between the S4 and S5 tail lights or if they take the same gasket. Reason I ask is because in "Aaroncake"s guide it shows you have to pound in or grind off that small section of metal and was curious if whether or not this would affect the gasket. Question still stands. Thanks very much!

I used an s4 on an s5..it needs a little trim but it works..
Really if you don't even have a gasket you can get by with some foam tape.
