53022263AF is the correct part number for the camshaft but the other part numbers don't look right to me because those are the part numbers for the individual lifters and not the yoke with 4 lifters. 5038787AD is the part number for the non-MDS lifter and 5038788AD is the part number for the MDS lifter. MDS lifters are in cylinders 1-4-6-7.

And if by mishap you happen to get the MDS lifters you'll know it, there's a hole in the side of the MDS lifter where a pin locks or unlocks the lifter innards with the lifter shell. Pin unlock - MDS mode (who cares ya? If they got a hole in the side see how far the fly) lolcb25070f14b5a2b19e6d700bcf94e0fd.jpg
