the national seal is the right one , the Mopar one looks like a pinion seal not an axle seal

Rob,

When you changed yours, did you notice another gasket on the axle housing much like the foam gasket for the retainer?  Mike and I noticed this when we pulled my backing plate off.  I can't seem to find another one anywhere....just curious if you used your old ones or if you didn't notice it at all.

That's the metal gasket, more like a thin shim. I had mine showing in my original thread's pics.   If you didn't buy one ahead of time, clean yours off with brake cleaner, then wipe both side with silicone then slap it together. 
I got mine from a vendor at the mopar nats. I think from MEGAPARTS.  I also think Chryco said the dealer still has those.
