Head Bolt Lengths

It's been a while...  Anyway,  I need to finaly put an engine back together.  Something like 10 years since I dissassembled it...  I noticed there are 2 different lengths of head bolts.  It looks like there should be 3 shorter ones in a line just under the valve springs.  Is this correct?

 

 

Back story:

I took it apart back then to do a re-seal.  It was leaking oil at a stupid rate, as is typical.  I had that engine from when it had 15,000 miles on it.  Drove it past 150,000 with synthertic oil and a bypass filter.  Never changed oil, just added as needed.  Checked a crank bearing & wrist pin, both in the best condition / original spec I've seen in the handful of engines I've rebuilt / dissassembled.  And there it has sat, parts in boxes.

 

Anyway, lots of other things kept me busy - like building a house - and I ended up with other spare engines, so I have not needed to re assemble it until now.

 

Thus I don't remember which bolts were short / long / where they were...
