Reassembling my 2jzgte with VVTI

IT looks like the two camshafts have different size seals, but I did order for a 2jzge vvti and have 2 of the same size seals.
Did I get incorrect parts?
Am I looking at this wrong?

Someone that has assembled one please chime in

Thanks in advance for your help, sounds like a simple question, but right now I am stuck

Have the answer-

The seals are the same size - and are interchangable with 2jzgte seals.

On the exhaust side the seal forms between the camshaft and the bearing cap.
On the intake side - the seal is between the VVTI cam gear and the bearing cap.
When you put the bearing on the intake side you sill se a huge gap between the bearing cap and the camshaft the the seal is not filling - that is what threw me - how is this going to seal oil in - When you put the cam gear on you see where it slides under the seal. This also explains why when pulling the camshaft gear there will lways be oil that leaks out when you remove the retaining bolt.

Let the reassembly continue - and with that more questions
