"Also,there is a casting # of 46 on the housing." Are you sure it says "46"? I googled for a Dana 46 axle and nothing useful comes up. There is a Dana 45 that Ford used on wagons and Mercs in the fifties. I have one. You might try a search for a '55 Merc pinion seal and see what that yields. The 45 is basically a beefed up 44 and some 44 parts will interchange.
