Hello.

I was just about to do the valve DIY but there was somthing to bother me. Please look the picture.
The one on the left side is from this forum and another is from a manual. Which one is the correct one or dosen't matter?
Thanks.

Personally, Id follow what the "manumal" says.
But yes, this is a bit peculiar.

If I had the ability to scan, I would provide the illustration, but I suck at the interweb.

Interesting.
So the long marker on the gear is used when the timing belt cover is on.
And the marker on the outermost portion of the gear is used to line up with the mark on the head.

A simple test could be performed by just putting the top TB cover on, reasonably secure it, align the long line under the number with the view portal pointer, remove the TB cover without misaligning the camshaft, observe which lines fall in place and that would be what one would use with the TB covers off the car.
