Default Pinion Seal Question

I need to assemble my differential to get it out of the way while I finish assembling my cylinder heads. Though they may have been new, I didn't like the looks of the yoke seals and replaced them. He who shall not be named on this forum (Gary) convinced me that I'd be stupid not to do the pinion seal too. He gave me the SKF part number for the yoke seals (13562) but not the pinion seal. Anyone have the part number? Both eBay and vendor sites seem to get confused on this one and either not have the seal listed or use this same part number as the yoke seal.

Make sure the new seal has a snug fit where the seal LIP fits on the wear mark of the pinion flange. (Sometimes a small wear-depression will be visible)
