Different compressors use different seals. I took off a Harrison that used two black of equal thickness. I replaced it with a CompressorWorks that used a yellow and green (I think, maybe yellow and red, it's been a while). There was also a diameter difference with the yellow being larger.
The trick is to get it even and have the sealing washers stick up just a tad above the compressor. That way the manifold is sealing against the rubber on the sealing washer and not against the metal on the compressor.
