I can not tell from the pic what clutch you purchased. Keep in mind that for the 1980 model year Kawasaki offered a twin 750 and a four 750. Partzilla indicates the following part numbers
for the twin  (KZ750 G1 also called LTD II) 13081-1006
for the four (KZ750 E1) 13081-1034
I do not know if there are differences between the 2 parts, but would assume there are as they have different part#s and Partzilla indicates the twin clutch was used only on the 750 twins. While the clutch on the four was used on several different 750 four models/years and some 650 H models as well.

Maybe what you purchased is OEM but intended for the twin(s)

You just can only give it a try. If the clutch parts fit into the inner/outer clutch hub/basket, have the right thickness and stack high, you are fine.

Yess I have check the Plate number on Partzilla!! They are the same from kz650 to 1000 !! The Oem looks like small square on the plate friction!! Thats why Im not sure my clutch is an OEM!! The plate has a 3.7mm thickness

The plates in the photo are not OEM plates for the 650/750 four cylinder bikes.  That is not to say that they are bad per se, though.

That color and basket tabs look suspiciously Barnett.

I'm with Scirocco on this, you own them now so "fire them in there" and "suck it and see"  it's not the biggest job in the world and the worst that can happen is it doesn't work correctly

Exactly Wookie! Never was a huge fan of the ole vintage Barnett though. While worked as advertised, those "metal" outer basket tabs were hard on the basket slots. Had a tendency to "notch" the baskets more aggressively then OEM. Had several NOS sets years ago and sold them all.
