N18 cylinder heads / fitment questions

So I'm about to order a rebuilt cylinder head but the guy Is asking me to verify which style head end plate my car has.
my car is a 2013 r58 n18 and it does have the updated style fuelpump. So I know the n18 has 2x style fuelpumps so if I'm correct the there is only 2x different style end plates to bolt the 2x too , Correct ? OR are there 3x plates , 1x for old pump and 2x for the newer style pumps ???
also if there is only 2x plates , the late style 2x hole ? Is that for the updated style pump then ?
much appreciated as always guys , I need to get this head ordered asap so I gotta make sure I get the correct one..
My stupid valvestem seals have failed so yeaaaaaa.

Is there a reason you don't want to just replace the stem seals on your existing head, or just have that one rebuilt?

time and ease.... with all else that needs to get done along with the head I just don't wanna bother honestly and with my luck id do it all and have one screwed up or something..
My buddy actually is going through that headache with his r53 so I rather just get a rebuilt, tested and warranted head to be safe...
but by chance is the late 2x hole the correct plate I needed because that's the one I ordered.
I Gotta get the ball rolling because my daughter completes her drivers ed in like a month and then the clubman is All Hers..
