Would need to dig one out and not sure if I know exactly where one is right now in the garage

Ones I've had were already colored. Guess I would use a red wide sharpie to touch up or make a reproduction

They are "attached" as with adhesive but time, heat and age then tend to bond somewhat with the carb I've noticed likely since it has the wider contact patch

It's been eons since I've seen an original.
Is the gasket all paper, white or almond with the just the one side red?

Does the color match this:

It is thicker like they glued 3 of the thinner gaskets together.I will try to dig one out and take a picture.

Fel-PRO sells a gasket that is about 3 times the thickness as a standard gasket its black but is a good part to get the thickness for the height of an air cleaner so stock parts like a "S" tube fit well.  Fel-Pro 60032

Finding a gasket that will function in place of is not the issue. Finding a gasket that looks the part of the assemblyline part is . ;)
