34800038 is the 2017-2019 touring number.
34800046 is the 2020+ number.
Nothing changed internally other than the gasket. In 2020 the top cover was changed from aluminum to plastic. The aluminum cover flat gasket blocked off the area to vent the crankcase. The plastic cover gasket is a flexable rubber gasket that fits in a groove in the cover. The area that vents the crankcase is open. When DIY venting the aluminum cover, it was necessary to punch a hole in the flat gasket.

Plastic cover gasket.

The trans cover is plastic? I guess that's a good a reason as any to get the Trask system.
