Can some one clarify on the interchangeability of Oval Ring type Gasket with Octagonal Ring type gasket? To be very specific, as I understand,
A. Flange with Octagonal Ring Groove: Oval Ring or Octagonal Ring type Gasket can be used.
B. Flange with Oval Ring Groove: Can Octagonal Ring type Gasket be used for Oval Ring Groove Flange, or only Oval Ring type Gasket can be used? Thanks.

A. Correct
B. Only an Oval Ring type gasket can be used with Oval groove RTJ flanges
 
Thank you very much Krausen for your valuable feedback strengthening my view.
 
Are these very old flanges? As far as I can see, no one makes Oval shaped ring joint flanges and they all became flat bottomed about 1960?

These are the flanges of Heat Exchanger Nozzle, and its some how recent one. Not old one.
