The right or passenger exhaust is unique to the 455 as installed in the motorhome. The Toronado manifold will not work easily.
I know you did not ask, but the middle bolt on the exhaust manifolds exist to hold the manifold in place while getting the other 4 bolts installed. Do not torque it down, torqueing it down will cause a tilt towards the top and result in leaks out the bottom of the joint.
I suggest RemFlex gaskets be used. Follow the RemFlex directions as to torque amounts and tighting pattern. Remember to re-torque the manifolds after driving the coach.
