In reply to a message from Kirbert sent Tue 13 Nov 2012:
Kirby, yes, two piece set, one for each bank. It fits almost
perfectly and no cutting was required. What I took off the
engine was brownish (probably was pink when new) and it was
NOT a single piece.
Part number is indeed NNA3020AA according to my invoice.
Terry’s website has the picture:

My albums have a photograph of the 6.0L intakes (3rd
photograph in the folder ‘‘Upper engine work - 1995 XJS V12
6.0L’’ ), but since I have not seen the 5.3L ones, I cannot
tell whether there is a difference or not. Perhaps you or
someone else with lots of experience can comment on that.
Best regards,
Steve–
The original message included these comments:
I am not sure if there is a design change with the 6.0L V12,
but the intake manifold gasket that I got from the dealer was
greenish and fit very well without any cutting.
Ooooh, interesting. Was it 2-piece, one per bank? Part number?
The latest part number I know of is NNA-3020BA. But those are pink;
at least the ones I got were pink.
I suppose someone who has heads laying around can tell us if the
intake ports changed enough between the 5.3 and the 6.0 to warrant a
gasket change. I understand the manifolds themselves changed, but I
didn’t expect that to warrant a gasket change.
