Axle seals leaking, again

So I parked the car in the fall due to leaking axle seals until I could repace them. Took care of that, did a few other things. Was reassembling last week, prior to racing this weekend. The seals are leaking again. Had problems finding proper seals before. The parts listed in the catalog fell out of the axle. A friend who was working in a shop, found a match from a trailer (!?).
Thought maybe I messed them up, trying to get more. NO luck. Any way to positively identify the axle? The car is a compilation of at least 3 different cars, so can't be sure it is really an 83. It is an LSD. Any help is much appreciated.

I picked up some axle seals here locally. I have a similar type mish mosh of parts. Lsd diff with disk brakes. They had them in stock. Import car parts. http://www.importcarcenter.com/


I have the receipt here somewhere. I'll have to dig it up to find the part number for you. Post back and I'll look if you have no luck.

Thanks cpa7man. I ordered more seals locally. Have to hope these are correct. If you come across the receipt I may yet need the info. Not having the car ready isn't ALL bad. The SCCA event this weekend has over 320 preregistered. Waaaaaaaaay long day.
