One is "wrong", flip a coin... on 240's there are two types of flanges as you've seen: fixed flange and "spin" flange. It's always spin flange to spin flange or flat flange to flat flange. The flat flange uses a gasket, the spin flange, uses the donut.

You can probably get the different types to mate OK for a bit with the donut, but how long it'll stay sealed is anyone's guess. It's basically a right angle on the inside of the flat flange, so the surface area for sealing is almost nonexistent.

If I had a choice, I like the spin flange better.
