Doug is correct, you have to remove the inner bearing race to see it therei is a groove cut into the axle tube it sits in , I think the idea was to be certain there would be no weeping of gear lube on the backside of the backing plate near weld... maybe. In searching for hub seal on carters they show a o ring with the seal, so I called them to ask about it two people there said they had no idea why it was pictured with the seal. I did get the seal for cheap on fleabay and have found numerous suppliers for the o ring. Klhansen was on the money for the dash size ( many thanks 😊)
