Default Tail Shaft Seal for T56?

So I have my T56 out and figured I would replace the seal, went online ordered one. Doesnt appear to be the same as whats on it. I have replaced it once, but it appears to still leak.

The one I just bought is part number 361165. Does anyone know the correct part number.

You can see the difference between the 2, one has a lip on it to go over the driveshaft.

The dust boot isn't going to solve a sealing issue between the yoke and seal.
How is the driveshaft vertical play when all installed?

361165 is the seal only style.

Try 10117848 or 12530278 at a dealer or napa NOS 14635 or NOS 14569 for the uncircumcised seal. Don't quote me on the Napa.

Yes it will work fine if the yoke/bushing/mainshaft are in good shape.
