That case/carrier is heavy cast aluminum, likely permanent mould 17-4. Challenging the seal is torque load and lateral suspension loads. Dual fastener function, clamping and mounting. GM uses silicone, no gasket.
Success is uncertain, I disassembled the 44 to find orange and black silicone. Questionable technique. Is the Moser gasket critical to dimension stack-up?

This is a pretty standard cast iron Ford 8.8 solid axle with a stamped steel cover. I’m not too worried about stress or whatever. Intended use is a street cruiser and won’t see anything extreme. The gasket plus Right Stuff is a solution others have used and is apparently successful.
