I believe the same axle seal was used in mid-60's 9" Fairlanes and Galaxies too.
I'd be curious to know what the measurements are on those axles at the seal, or the part number of the seal. Some axles are bigger than others right there. From memory, the Mosers are pretty big in that area, and I don't see how there would be room for a seal... but one would be nice (compared to the o-ring). I'll have to look at mine closer next time they are out.

Neat info
