Model ps-sv735-3030
The following excerpt from the service manual explains the different valve cover gasket options. I've ordered these before (direct from kohler authorized service center), but as you, I also see none of the typical parts sites list the 3 choices. If the ones you have had RTV and no O rings then you use RTV, otherwise you'll need to contact Kohler or a local Kohler authorized service center.
From the service manual;
Three valve cover designs have been used. First type
used a gasket and RTV sealant between cover and
sealing surface of cylinder head. Second type had a
black O-ring installed in a groove on underside of cover
and may have metal spacers in bolt holes. Latest design
uses a yellow or brown O-ring, with bolt hole spacers
molded in place. Tightening torque differs between
gasket and O-ring style covers. Kits are available for
converting to latest O-ring type covers. Differences are
pointed out in following installation steps.
1. If using gasket or sealant type cover, prepare sealing
surfaces of cylinder head and cover, refer to Tools
and Aids for approved sealants. Always use fresh
sealant. Using outdated sealant could result in
leakage. With O-ring type covers, make sure sealing
surfaces are clean.
2. Make sure there are no nicks or burrs on sealing
surfaces.
3. For covers requiring RTV sealant, apply a 1.5 mm
(1/16 in.) bead to sealing surface of both cylinder
heads, install a new cover gasket on each, then
apply a second bead of sealant on top surface of
gaskets. For O-ring type covers, install a new O-ring
in groove of each cover. Do not use gaskets or RTV
sealant.
4. Locate cover with oil fill neck on same side as
removed and install lifting strap in original position.
With O-ring type covers, position cover on cylinder
head. If loose spacers were used, insert a spacer in
each screw hole. On both types, install four screws
in each cover and finger tighten.
5. Torque valve cover fasteners to proper specification
using sequence shown.

i don't know that vehicle very well... but there are usually bolts/screws that hold them in place. 4 to 6 of them per cover. sometimes the spark plug holes have giant nuts that hold the cover in place.

the truth about thse engines is they are hard to work on. if the valve covers are unbolted and still ****, try getting a rectangular peice of wood and putting it on the side of the cover neer the gasget, tap on the other end with a hammmer from all angles to try to break the seal.
this is a common problem with valve covers that havent ever been removed and they heat up, and cool down so many times they practically bake onto the head

Just take a picture of it with digital camera or phone. And start removing wires and hoses until they are all out of way of cover. Then remove the bolts all way around cover and pull straight up and it will come right off. If not use a flat head screw driver to prise it off. Clean old gasket off of valvecover and engine. then put it bak together. Tighten bolts slowly, start with ones in center ov it and work your way out. Just finger tight. Then snug, then torque em down. Not too tight as if tostrip the bolt or break it off. Cause it be very expensive. also write down everywhere each wire go's unless you can remember
