Valve Seals?

Valve Seals?
Hey guys,
Seems like a silly question, but figured I'd ask just to be sure...
I went to Murrays, a local auto store, and asked for LT1 valve seals. He gave me flat o-rings. When I started taking the heads apart, I realized the stock heads have the umbrella guides.
So what do I do with these flat o-rings? Do I put the o-rings on first and then press the umbrella guide over it?
Here's some pictures from Summit as reference...
What I purchased looks like this:

What are in the stock heads, obviously, are more like this:

Thanks for the guidance! What would be a good viton style seal? I have stock valves, not sure what the diameter is. Would prefer no machining, also...
A search of Summit shows:

Which one would be the best recommendation?
I remember someone mentioning Edelbrock seals in another thread, would these be sufficient?

The problem is that many of the old timers working at a parts house will think you mean the original LT1 and give you the umbrella/o-ring combination. If they pull it up by application, felpro has the seals that work - they are nitron not viton.
