So for comparison, here are the photos of the kit I found on the web. The following one was from Di Bartoli, screen is small and disk is essentially flat, but it does have an edge for the screen to locate into.
This one was from Seattle Coffee Gear, the kit has a replacement o-ring, and the outer edge is almost identical to the Gaggia, creating a volume behind the screen. The rest of the face is flat. Also note, how the center screw hole is not chamfered.
Now I have no idea what the backs of these look like. Going by the shadow in the center holes, I do not think they are as thick as mine, and may not fill the pod void. The funny thing is all three, the two above and my one are made by Ascaso. So I guess you will get what you get if you order one. If I can't get enough coffee in mine after the mod is fitted, at least there is plenty of meat in the brass to remove some of the face and give a bit more headroom.
