Default I think I have the wrong part....

I purchased my ZF6 rear seal ahead of time from a local auto parts store referencing GM part # 10140538 as found on ZFdoc and they gave me Timken part # 4333N. I finally got my seal out today and I’m not sure they gave me the right part. Check out the pics. Has anyone else used this Timken part in a ZF? This seal doesn’t go as deep into the extension housing as the factory seal and I think the rubber extension is going to touch the slip yolk once everything is back together. I’m thinking of returning it and I now see that Bill B recommends getting the TH400 seal and bushing.
