Are these valve spring retainers okay to use for 1.9 rockers?

(The ones on the left.) I've had them in the engine for a couple of years, just curious. On the ZZP website, theirs look a little more low profile/ shorter. They talk about "more clearance" for the valve seals. The ones I have in won't hit the top of the valve seals or anything, will they? On 3800 Performance.com, theirs look very similar to the ones I have in but they're black in color.
I had an engine swap done a few years ago & I forgot to bring a valve spring compressor when I went down to grab as much as I could off the scrapped engine. I got the rockers, though, Lol. Original set of retainers were from 3800 Performance.com. 2nd set were from Alex's Parts off eBay. The package said: "OEM Beehive Retainers. LS1/3 L92 SPRING RETAINERS LS."
I contacted ZZP way back then, they said any type of LS retainers should work fine.
