Yes, those will do. They are just universal plates to cover a variety of styles 
which VW used over the years. The actual plate sold by VW is just diamond 
shaped, as are the gaskets in your kit which will work here.

The specs say that they should only drip one or 2 drops a minute when 
pressurized and not energized. I've never found that following this helped 
anything, however. The only time I've ever replaced injectors was when they had 
large visible leaks that weren't cured by either replacing the hose or letting 
them sit (in the car) with gasoline in them. (The latter applies to cars left 
undriven for years.)
