    The "felt" is actually leather,(maybe that's where Chicago Rawhide comes from)if you can -- sizing up seals can also be done measuring id & od & thickness -- this is in addition to cross/ref the part number stamped on the seal that you removed

    Do a bit of measuring, if they check out by demensions go for it. I can give you some old National seal #s if you give me the rear axle code ie "RA 2, RA 19" etc.
