End Cam Cover Seals

I'm questioning the four, half circle rubber seals, that go in the end / side of the valve cover, along with the cover gasket.

This is the second set of these seals that I've purchased. The first set was made from a solid piece of rubber, molded into a half circle.

The set that I just received has a metal piece in the end / side of it, that fits on the outside / outer edge of the valve cover, then the center of it is hollow. I hope this explanation is understandable......LOL

I'm questioning how well these will actually seal with the hollow center ??

Any comments ??

Which bike is this for? Pics or link to the seals in question?

I just replaced mine with the type your describing. They seal fine.

...And I agree, seems like an odd design.
