Were some rear hubs made like that configuration or are my eyes playing tricks on me.?
That is what confused me. Mine has a groove for the snap ring at the bearing, but none for the seal. I just drove the seal in against the bearing snap ring, and according to my measurements, the seal should ride in the correct place. Time will tell.

Thanks to all who responded.
