There is no such thing as a civilian equivalent to the seals.

the reason for the grease and the double seal, is for deep water use, helps to keep the water out of the rears and bearings, for normal use with no high water use, I see no reason not to run gear oil in the hubs, In civy use this is the way these hubs were used, only the mil. use had the double seals and grease

There are no seal numbers in this thread, those are the bearing numbers.

Now that the seal numbers are on this thread, my question is where can we purchase seals.

So those numbers are a current manufacturer? Or the company that supplied them to the mil?

I would think the big surplus shops will all have the seals.

On the 5 tons there is a conversion available. this conversions is supposed to last vs. the old water forging seals were short life but were an attempt at waterproofing. This is how I understand what a heavy truck mechanic told me the other day. Maybe some one can comment on this with education for us all.

When driving these trucks for a living, I remember the wheel seals going out regular, along with regular failure of the wheel cylinders, but that is another thread.
