Keep in mind that in that case both pieces were cast iron or steel. To get compression on a gasket you need a strong material, and a plastic beckson-type hatch is not strong enough to compress that packing foam.

(Usually the paper gaskets were attached with heavy shellac on both mating surfaces. Just saying...)
