Do I have the right head gasket?

I'm replacing the cracked head (0331) and gasket on my 2000 XJ 4.0l. My question is, do I have the right Fel-Pro gasket, Fel-Pro 530-SD? Both the block and head have holes that aren't in the gasket near the bolt holes on the manifold side of the engine. The label on the gasket says 1987-2001 4.0l.
 
Thanks md21722. I guess my main concern is that all the gaskets I see, including the one I got, block off the water jacket passages down the exhaust side of the engine. I'm wondering why they put them in to the block and head just to seal them off with the gasket.
