There's also a little copper sealing ring under the torque converter drain plug...

I agree that the dealer is unlikely to have made a mistake when you give him the VIN for your car and the car is all original - but if the front pump isn't original or the transmission isn't original well there is a small chance that the seal won't fit. Perhaps - I don't know...
